I love my favorite city and home, NYC, even when it’s for work. I taped a segment of a documentary w/CNN on the Black Birthing Crisis but first met for brunches/my brotha Dr. Dennis Taylor.

Human. I love cats, brilliant 🥷🏾, and thinking out loud. Not in this particular order.
Yesterday was a busy but so fulfilling. In the morning, I had the honor of being interviewed by Mark Anthony Neal. Met w/a research team of OB/Gyns and an oral historian to discuss reproductive justice (RJ), & served on a panel discussing Jennifer Nash’s brilliant book Birthing Black Mothers.
Had an exciting day on campus. Enjoy the pics . . . #the ebonycanal
On September 19th, I am joining my sista Michelle Browder as we discuss the current birthing crisis and the ways we’re helping to eradicate it. I look forward to learning from Dr. Gomez-Carrion as well.
