Our mortality rate dropped from 50.3 to 44.8 deaths per 100,000 births. That is our advocacy working. That is our faith moving mountains. But sis — there is still a hidden crisis buried in this data that every pregnant Black woman NEEDS to know about.In this episode, I break down:✅ What the 2026 CDC data actually says (in plain English!)✅ Why "statistically significant" matters — and why this win still counts✅ The quiet crisis in first trimester prenatal care access✅ What morbidity means and why near-misses matter just as much✅ Exactly how to fight for early care even when the system says "wait"💛 Need clarity for your pregnancy journey?
