Beautiful viewing of the Charlotte premiere of Kristie Puckett’s changemaker documentary Held and Healing, detailing her life, intersectional realities of Black maternal health, substance use and recovery, incarceration, the legal and child welfare systems and her work to channel her pain into addressing the discrepancies in care and life outcomes that our systems perpetuate.
As Kristie discussed having 3 men join her on the panel that Dr. Naikia Atkinson facilitated, it reiterated how important intersectional support is and not only am I my brother’s keeper, but I’m also my sister’s as well.
