Black History Month 2014 Is Ending, But Health Disparities Continue
Opportunities to make change year round
During the month of February, MANA has been highlighting birth workers of color and their role in improving outcomes for mothers and babies.
Although Black History Month ends this week, the impacts of health disparities in the U.S. continue year round.
MANA would like to bring attention to one national effort to create health equity: scholarships for birth workers of color.
The Birth Workers of Color Scholarship "Grand Challenge" is asking every midwifery program in the U.S. to offer one scholarship per year to women of color. As the site says:
"A midwife for every woman. That is our grand ideal. But what if you are a woman of color in America, where is your midwife from your unique culture?"
If you operate a midwifery training organization, please consider adding a scholarship today. For all of us there are many ways to get involved:
- Raise awareness. Share the site widely and call on the organization that trained you to offer a scholarship.
- Offer your assistance as a mentor or preceptor.
- Offer scholarships for workshops or other trainings you provide.
This project is being spearheaded by Claudia Booker, CPM, Jennie Joseph, CPM, LM and Vicki Penwell, CPM, LM. Learn more at the Birth Workers of Color Scholarship site here.
Educate yourself and your community on maternal child health disparity in the U.S.
When the Bough Breaks free viewings extended for 2014.
To honor Black History Month in 2013 MANA created the opportunity for members, friends, and the community at large to have free access to When The Bough Breaks, a groundbreaking documentary that explores why black babies in the U.S. are more than twice as likely to die, be born too soon, or too small.
MANA has extended this opportunity for 2014. To learn more, email socialjustice@mana.org today.
