They have staffers that will take that call, that will make that note. They're public officials, they're public servants. So I think that's one way that I really implore people to get in the fight is through channeling your relationship with your elected officials and using advocacy for good.

I started a center here. It's the Center for Black Maternal Health and Reproductive Justice about three years ago. We're an academic-based, but community-facing research center that is focused on advocating for quality, equitable, and respectful care. And this is before, during, and after the pregnancy period. Some of our accomplishments are based in our six units of the center.

So we have the mother lab, which is our student-run, student-led research lab. that engages both current students in public health, social work, nursing, medicine, anthropology, law, economics, to really think about maternal health. And we do this through webinars, publishing research, advocacy, anything that can really amplify maternal health.

One of the initiatives that the Mother Life students came up with, they're called Nurture Kids. We're partnered with a number of domestic violence shelters and women's centers in the area and donating postpartum kits and resources after their patient population delivers. We know that's an important entree into that parenting journey is the ability to support yourself during the postpartum period.

There's no shortage of ideas or needs that the students have and that we have as a center. We also have a unit that focuses on data. How do we serve as a hub for research and put our finger on a pulse of where the opportunities for intervention lie? We analyze a lot of data.

We have epidemiologists or statisticians who can analyze disease trends and look at current data and say, OK, here are the places of intervention. And here's where we can subsequently support birthing people in the inter-pregnancy period. So if a person had a previous SMM event and we're looking at the data, we can say, OK, here's where the points of opportunity are to kind of interrupt that.

We also have a focus on policy, a focus on education and training, being very intentional about building a culturally responsive workforce. We work with students, practitioners, doulas, midwives, focusing on racial bias, cultural competency, and a very clear focus on patient-centered care. And then our community engaged research unit, which is our face of the center.
