It's Black Maternal Health Week!

This week we're centering the conversations that matter most, from perinatal care and vaccine safety to the research funding cuts quietly reshaping who gets care and who doesn't. We're also getting into the ancestral healing practices reclaiming their place in mental health, the misinformation making its way into medical schools, and what it really means to flex your civic muscle.

All of it connects. All of it matters. And all of it lives in this week's Watch.
