Grateful to the Edith Institute Institute for the invitation to facilitate such an important conversation centered on the health and well-being of Black mothers.
It was an honor to lead “Mama, Nourished: Food, Health, and Healing for Black Mothers,” creating space to explore how nutrition, wellness, and healing intersect throughout the maternal journey. Conversations like these remind us that supporting Black maternal health means caring for the whole person—mind, body, and community.
A special thank you to Joquelene Pressley of Cherished Hearts for co-facilitating this session. Your expertise, compassion, and commitment to serving mothers made this experience even more impactful. It was a privilege to share the space with you.
Thank you again to the Edith Institute for investing in conversations that prioritize education, equity, and the health of Black mothers. Here’s to continuing the work together.
