Can't wait to perform this with the BBC Philharmonic and Nicholas Carter at Malvern Theatres, 9 May! 🎉 malvern-theatres.co.uk/event/bbc-ph...

🧵It’s #BlackMaternalHealthWeek -a time to center Black moms & a need for action.
I’m reflecting on what this means in a year when our #NIH grant “Looking Back to Look Forward: Social Environment Across the Lifecourse, Epigenetics, & Birth Outcomes in Black Families” was terminated.
