WHAT IS BLACK MATERNAL HEALTH WEEK?
Black Mamas Matter created Black Maternal Health Week in 2018. The week is recognized from April 11-17 annually. According to the Black Mamas Matter Website, Black Maternal Health Week was created “to amplify the voices of Black Mamas and center the values and traditions of the reproductive and birth justice movements. Activities during BMHW are rooted in human rights, reproductive justice, and birth justice frameworks.”
