This group that I’m so proud to be a part of is called Speak, Move, Change and we curate two virtual series’ to address the crisis in reproductive health in the United States. As part of our collective work, Speak, Move, Change hosts virtual events during Black Maternal Health Week in April and we curate a week-long virtual series for an initiative that we launched in 2023 called the National Postpartum Awareness Week for BIPOC birthing people. The National Postpartum Awareness Week (PAW) was created by our collective and is designed to heighten awareness for stakeholders around the country so that comprehensive, equitable, trauma and culturally relevant care are provided to BIPOC mothers, birthing people, their babies and partners during the 4th Trimester. We believe that “postpartum is forever” and that everyone deserves to receive care that honors their humanity
