Repost from -Just as I sat down to write this op-ed for about the surging Black maternal mortality crisis in America, I learned died during childbirth at a hospital in LA—the same city where I delivered our baby just 9 months ago.

How many more lives will we lose? How many more motherless babies will it take before we wake up and take action to fix our broken medical system?

Some of us hear these heartbreaking stories and we shut down–understandably so. There are too many. Frankly, the system seems too fu**ed up to fix.

But here’s the part I can’t live with: 84% of these deaths are preventable. That means there are SOLUTIONS.

Studies show that including midwives and doulas in the maternal healthcare system could prevent more than 80% of maternal and infant deaths.

Makes you wonder why we don’t hear more about the life-saving benefits of doulas and midwifery care?

This is why I’m sharing my home-birth story about working with a skilled and loving Black midwife co-owner of . With all the grief and loss swirling around this issue, I think it’s so important to share how much BETTER it can be—to remind us that quality care is possible for us, too. We need to see more examples of how women of color are having safe, PEACEFUL births. And it shouldn’t be considered a luxury in the richest country in the world.

We all need to advocate to make this kind of care and these alternative options accessible for every birthing person—whether they’re birthing in or out of the hospital.

The same system that’s responsible for forcing people into parenthood before they’re ready MUST be held responsible for keeping us alive.

Bc we all deserve to do more than just survive birth. We deserve to THRIVE.

Pls join me & in raising funds for founded by a dad who channeled his anger into action after losing his own wife during a routine C-section at Cedars-Sinai. He is one of the loudest voice in this fight. Let’s not allow activists and community birth workers to fight for our lives alone.

On October 24, 2021, a sculpture honoring Dr. Huey P. Newton was erected on the intersection of Mandela Parkway and Dr. Huey P. Newton Way. This week's guest, Fredrika Newton, worked very closely with sculptor, Dana King, to both bring Huey to life and finally lay him to rest 32 years after his death. On the 55th anniversary of the founding of the Black Panther Party, this became the first permanent art piece installed on Oakland public land that commemorates their legacy. It is only the second monument of a Black Panther in the nation.
