I've just begun a remarkable, humbling reporting journey into the issue of maternal mortality. As a journalist, the privilege and responsibility of entering people's lives, often when they are at their most vulnerable, is extremely sobering. But the opportunity to make a positive difference is incredibly exhilarating. I'll be spending the next two months meeting moms, midwives, doulas and other people who are committed to achieving safe and equitable care for high risk mothers, and to amplifying the role of racism and implicit bias in the health outcomes for pregnant women and new mothers in the U.S. and internationally. I'll be visiting several cities in the U.S., including my current location, Washington, DC, and will also travel abroad. So I'm counting my blessings every minute of every day for this challenging new chapter of my career. #maternalhealth #globalhealth https://lnkd.in/gKRCuDg …see more
