In 2017, my friend Dr. Shalon Irving died just 3 weeks after giving birth to her daughter, Soleil. Dr. Shalon’s life and story have inspired my work in Congress to address our nation’s Black maternal health crisis, including today’s introduction of the #Momnibus. #BHM

Thank you Dr. Deirdre Cooper Owens for your historical presentation on medical racism in obgyn. She says that “the US is the most dangerous place for Black women to have children in the developing world.Treat Black women as white women.” #ACOGVirtual20 @acog

We need to learn about the racist history of medicine, but we also need to look at today's curricula, identify how that history still informs training, and CHANGE IT. @drcooperowens #ACOGVirtual20
