Celebrating Black Maternal Health Week #BMHW25

Mom and three kids Greetings from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! Things have been busy. I am still a working mom of three, working full time who is trying to make a difference. I do a lot of things and try to be present so that I can learn from them. I share them on this blog so that we can learn together. Below are some thoughts, hacks, and/or lessons that I have learned from navigating my world. Black Maternal Health Week April 11-17, 2025 I am a Black mom to three wonderful children. I was blessed to have three successful births. While I am an attorney, my third delivery highlighted the potential risks that occur when a physician fails to listen to the birthing person. Initially, I chalked it up to the physician involved and limited it to my personal birthing experience. Then, I learned that I was not special.

At the BlogHer'12 conference Katie Couric encouraged the bloggers to apply for a spot on her show by going on Twitter and tweeting a request to "@KatieShow".  Well, I have done that, but decided to go a step further.  I decided that I should make a video so that Katie, or her people, could see how badly I want to be on the show. 

This may be the first of several. How many videos would be too many? How do you know when you cross the line from ambitious to annoying?! I may need an intervention. You be the judge!

Katie can you hear me?!
