Join the Baton Rouge chapter of the NCBW as they discuss Maternal Health!
It’s officially Black Maternal Health Week — a time to honor, advocate for, and uplift Black mothers across our community and beyond.
Black mothers are the backbone of families and communities, yet they are disproportionately impacted by alarming maternal health disparities. It’s time to change the narrative — to demand a healthcare system that provides safe, respectful, and equitable care.
Join us for the Metropolitan Baton Rouge Chapter’s inaugural Maternal Health Summit: Empowering Our Moms — a transformative virtual experience that centers the voices, needs, and wellness of Black mothers. This powerful event will bring together community leaders, healthcare professionals, and advocates to share tools, resources, and solutions for better maternal health outcomes.
✨ Keynote Speaker:
We are honored to welcome Judge Glenda Hatchett, nationally renowned television personality and fierce advocate, who will deliver a keynote address that will educate, empower, and inspire.
