We are thrilled to announce the upcoming release of "The Mourning After: A Black Infant Mortality Anthology," a groundbreaking literary work that sheds light on the experiences of Black women who have tragically lost their children because of miscarriage, preterm labor, terminal medical diagnosis, and/or stillbirth.
This anthology, featuring heartfelt stories, powerful essays from providers, and insightful perspectives, aims to raise awareness about the urgent issue of black infant mortality and the unique challenges faced by Black mothers, including but not limited to implicit bias, systemic and institutional racism.
The anthology delves into the deeply personal stories of grief, resilience, and hope, providing a platform for Black women to share their experiences and advocate for change. Through these narratives, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the emotional, social, and cultural factors that contribute to the alarming statistics surrounding black infant mortality.
Scheduled for presale on July 25, 2023, "The Mourning After" is a collaborative effort that brings together the voices of Black women who have experienced the profound loss of a child, along with Black contributors from nonprofits, senate, the medical and mental health profession, policy experts and black birth workers. This diverse range of perspectives creates a comprehensive and impactful narrative that explores the systemic issues contributing to the disproportionately high rates of infant mortality among Black communities.
