#ProtectBlackWomen
I recently met Dr. Stacy Scott at a Starbucks in Washington, DC. After admiring her handbag embossed with the words, “Protect Black Women” from afar for the better part of 15 minutes, I knew that I had to introduce myself. After wrapping up my conversations, I approached Dr. Scott to ask if I could take a picture of her and her bag. I was elated that she said “yes” without hesitation. I was so delighted that we both shared a commitment to health equity. Like me, she wears many hats - Executive Director of Baby 1st Network and works with the Global Infant Safe Sleep (GISS) Center and National Insitute for Children’s Health Quality. The mission of the Baby 1st Network is to provide educational materials and support to mothers and families to reduce the incidence of Sudden unexpected infant death (SUID), as well as services to families who have experienced the loss of an infant less than one year of age. Dr. Scott can be found on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
PHL Board Member Ebony Moody Centers Black Women’s Perspectives in New Anthology
Public Health Liberation Board Member Ebony Moody recently published an anthology of Black women’s life experiences. Black Women Win: Stories to Celebrate, Honor Salute, and Acknowledge Black Women presents ten amazing women who journeyed from tragedy to triumph. Representing many facets and walks of life, this anthology embodies tales of love, trauma, and victory. These stories uplift and showcase Black women’s successes and immense sacrifices that have been unseen, unheard, and swept under the rug for centuries. Sharing these stories breaks the chains of shame and guilt and opens paths of healing, gratitude and holistic health. This book was written to inspire women across the globe to pursue their heart-filled dreams and to defy the odds.
