I’m so honored to be presenting at the 2026 World Maternal Mental Health Forum hosted by the PSI's Alliance for People of Color . 💙

I’ll be speaking about the critical importance of centering stories in maternal mortality prevention efforts and the ties to maternal mental health. Too often, the full experiences of mothers and families are not reflected in the data we rely on most. But when we make space for stories through lived experience, family voices, and community context, we deepen our understanding of what happened, why it happened, and what is needed to uplift prevention efforts.

Centering stories helps us move beyond the surface. It allows us to see the gaps, the barriers, the missed opportunities, and the real life circumstances that shape outcomes. Because we cannot fully or adequately support what we do not see.

Join us and be part of a global, multilingual space that connects stories, cultures, and care!

It was a meaningful day of connection as I recently had the opportunity to engage with members of the Oklahoma Maternal Mortality Review Committee and discuss the importance of bringing qualitative insights into case review through interviews with family members impacted by maternal death.

These conversations matter because they help center lived experiences, that may contribute to outcomes, but don’t always show up in charts and reports. Grateful for the opportunity to be in this space and contribute to work that strengthen mortality prevention efforts. 💜

It was truly a pleasure to be invited by the City of Gluckstadt’s Health Council to share a brief presentation on maternal health with the Board of Aldermen and the Mayor.

We centered our state’s maternal mortality crisis and the ongoing efforts across Mississippi to uplift and support pregnant and postpartum mothers. These conversations matter because behind every statistic is a mother, a family, and a story that deserves to be heard.

This moment felt especially meaningful as I had the honor of presenting alongside my longtime friend and mentor, Dr. Charlene Collier. 💜

As we recognize Black Maternal Health Week, it is important to acknowledge the urgency of this work in Mississippi. Our state continues to face some of the highest rates of maternal mortality, with Black women carrying a disproportionate burden, accounting for nearly 8 out of 10 pregnancy related deaths.

Thank you to the Board of Aldermen, the Mayor, and the Health Council for creating space for these critical conversations and for your commitment to supporting mothers and families!

I was also honored to witness a resolution recognizing April as the City’s Maternal Mortality Awareness Month, an important step in continuing to center the well being of mothers across our communities. ✨💜

Black Maternal Health Week is more than a moment it’s a movement 🖤

In Mississippi, the reality is heartbreaking. Nearly 8 out of 10 pregnancy-related deaths occur among Black women. This is not just a statistic these are mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends whose lives matter.

These disparities are not by chance. They are rooted in gaps in access to care, systemic inequities, and missed opportunities to listen, support, and act.

What are things we can do to improve outcomes?

✔️ Listen to Black women
✔️ Invest in community-based care
✔️ Improve access to quality, person-centered healthcare
✔️ Advocate for policies that protect and uplift mothers

Every mother deserves to be seen, heard, and safe before, during, and after pregnancy.

Let’s raise awareness. Let’s push for change. Let’s save lives.

So happy to support Mississippi Public Health Institute and Mississippi Public Health Association "Ready! Set! Action" Challenge as we celebrate National Public Health Week! Finding simple ways to incorporate movement into daily life is one of my favorite ways to stay healthy. Walking, spending time outside with my kids, and showing up for family activities are all great ways to stay active and care for our well-being.

Day 2 of Holding Space, an initiative of Therapy Plus Foundation was dedicated to learning, reflection, and action through our Maternal Mental Health Symposium. 💜

This powerful day brought together maternal health professionals, advocates, and community leaders who share a commitment to improving outcomes for mothers and families across Mississippi. Participants engaged in meaningful conversations and dynamic sessions focused on perinatal mental health, trauma-informed care, health equity, and strengthening systems of support for women during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

The symposium created space not only for education, but also for connection, reminding us that advancing maternal mental health requires collaboration, compassion, and a shared vision for change.

Day 1 of Holding Space, an initiative of Therapy Plus Foundation was an incredible start to a powerful two-day convening. The first day featured the Maternal Health Resource Expo, which brought together more than 30 vendors from across Mississippi to connect mothers with essential resources and support.

The expo offered mamas support for everyday needs and provided access to physical and emotional health resources. Mothers were also able to connect with vendors offering baby essentials, care services, and lactation support. The goal was to ensure that moms in attendance could access the tools, services, and connections needed for a thriving pregnancy and beyond.

The event opened with a warm welcome address from Dr. Charlene Collier, MD, MPH, MHS, FACOG, a leader who has played an important role in advancing maternal and infant health in Mississippi. Dr. Collier, a maternal health care advocate, is also the owner of Haven: Pregnancy, Wellness & Women's Health.

Throughout the day, mothers had the opportunity to visit vendor booths, speak directly with community organizations, and learn more about the programs, resources, and services available to them. They also had an opportunity to enjoy a 30-minute yoga reset session and a light brunch, creating additional space for wellness, rest, and connection.
