The maternal mortality rate in the United States is the highest it’s been since 1965. If that doesn’t make you furious—it should.
This week, we’re getting loud about passing the Momnibus Act. Back on the floor for a third time, the #Momnibus is 13 bills designed to reduce preventable maternal deaths in the United States, and close the racial inequality gap in maternal health outcomes.
If everyone who is a mother, has a mother, knows or cares about a mother raises their voice and shares their stories, this bill will pass.
We can’t let one more year go by, or lose one more life.

Five years ago today this incredible woman became an ancestor. She walks with me all the time, guarding me, giving me advice, and ensuring my blessings. The longer it gets, the harder it becomes to believe that you’re not here. Thank you for everything you’ve given me Mom, and everything you continue to give me. You’re still the best to ever do it, and I’m so grateful to be yours.
Proof of life.
A few days on the West Coast … gave a talk in Colorado, hopped over to the Bay where I got to give a talk at @solidarity_ccsf and spend some quality time with my loved ones, recorded some new episodes of @ladydonttakenopod, then to Los Angeles to be reminded of the power of sisterhood. My good sis @angelarye gave me quite a few important words, but most importantly, that word about how we use our time and what we invite in based on how we use our time. This week I spent my time strengthening old bonds, caring for a few that were in repair, and building new bonds. In doing so, I’m inviting abundance, connection, clarity and forgiveness. Ready.

We are incredibly proud to share this moment from our 10-year history that took place at New York Summit on September 13, 2019.
@chasinggarza , Principal of @blackfutureslab and Co-Founder of the @blklivesmatter movement asks Feminist icon @gloriasteinem ::
“What would Gloria say about the state of the women’s movement today?”
And in true Gloria Steinem fashion, her answer is brilliant, prophetic, and is exactly what we need to hear right now.

It wouldn’t have been on my list of “things that are gonna happen” that I’d be on a kill list — or that I’d meet someone else on that same list … but that’s exactly what happened between me and @james.laporta. Join us as we talk about the weirdest connection ever and the rise of white nationalist forces in the military. Here’s a hint — it’s not a once in a while type of thing. As usual, we give you the weekly round up of politics and pop culture, including the death of an icon, why an 11 year old boy was shot by police after he called them to help his mom, and what might could get in the way of having three black women in the US Senate…plus we reach into the mailbag and answer your questions on #LadysLoveNotes. You don’t wanna miss this episode! #DoWhatchaLike and tune in for #AllOfTheReal!
