Last week, in recognition of Black Maternal Health Week (Black Mamas Matter Alliance), we partnered with Postpartum Support International's Alliance for People of Color for a powerful conversation on Black perinatal mental health and birth equity.

Led by Dr. Solimar Santiago-Warner (Seleni Clinical Advisory Board Member), this session didn’t just resonate—it delivered:

• 100% of attendees said the presenter was knowledgeable
• 100% said the presenter was engaging and supportive
• 100% would recommend this webinar to others

From addressing structural racism and implicit bias to equipping providers with tools for more equitable care, this conversation made one thing clear: this work is urgent.

Thank you to each of the 218 people who joined us and to Postpartum Support International and the Alliance for People of Color for your partnership. 💙
