Most folx know how I feel about shady DMs. Why a Caucus of Black Midwives? That’s easy.
CM/CNM attend 1% of the births of white non-Latinx mamas. 52% of US birthing people
CM/CNM attend 8% of births of Black women 13% of birthing people
Thanks @RjWarrior for your #APHA talk

So @ACNMmidwives literally attend the births of Black mamas 2:1 to our white counterparts. <10% CM/CNM are Black, probably 5% but we don’t know because it certifying body doesn’t report the demographics of the workforce in 2020 @acog knows the demographics of its workforce
Out of nearly 40 CNM/CM education programs there is 1 Black program director & those of us Black midwives who precept & mentor Black students daily hear about behaviors and actions from program faculty can be labeled as nothing other than white supremacy.
To my Muslim friends: I cannot imagine your pain and suffering from the #nzmosqueshooting. Know that I am here for you and that I continue to learn and use my privileged position to address #islamophobia. #unitedagainstislamophobia #whitesupremacy #nameit @kristynwongtam
To my non-Muslim friends: I hope you and I connect at some point and chat about why these incidents matter to us and how we can be better allies. We need to think about how all forms of hatred do not happen in isolation and how our empathy needs to fuel action. @nadiazhasan @nccm
