"On the subject of NWGHAAD, Sisterhood looks like a place of inclusion for all women & girls to be aware HIV and AIDS is still here and on the rise in Black & brown communities. It still doesn’t discriminate. I only wish that when I was 19 the information would have been more clear and prevalent instead of 'don't catch That Thang' or 'she or he got that fire.' That's just a tip of the stigma it carries. But today, we have better understanding through science of the medication, peer-led lived experience, and PrEP. We have the opportunity to be informed properly on how it's contracted. My hope is when you meet a woman of lived experience, allow them the platform to educate at your church, social gatherings, women's groups, doctor's office meetings, community meetings, legislative gatherings, and parent meetings so that young girls and women are equipped with the message of awareness & protecting themselves. As the saying goes from Anne Isabella Ritchie in 19th-century England: 'If you give a man a fish, he's hungry again in an hour. But if you teach him to catch fish, you do him a good turn.' And through this sisterhood I have been done a good turn." - Lizzie Bellamy; She/Her; South Carolina

BWHI is proud to support Deliver Us, , a powerful new documentary premiering this weekend in the Bay Area.

This film pulls back the curtain on the racial bias Black mothers experience during childbirth told through the voices of Black midwives and the mothers in their care.

At the heart of the story is Kindred Space, the only Black-owned and operated birth center in Los Angeles, and its founder Kimberly Durdin, who is working to create safe, affirming spaces for Black families in a system that too often fails them.

In a country with incredible medical advancement, Black mothers are still 3–4 times more likely to die during childbirth than their white peers. That is not a coincidence. That is systemic.
Deliver Us explores the history, the disparities, the racism, and the resilience, while centering the people building solutions.

If you’re in the Bay Area, check out the world premiere this weekend at the Cinequest Film Festival. And consider donating to support the film’s production and the Black mothers and midwives it uplifts. https://share.google/ziQ7w8OlY6hrtuROY
