The Black Maternal Health Conference introduced so many influencers in the public health community. Ranging from an artist I\u2019ve loved from a child, to courageous\u00a0 innovators fighting for change, this conference introduced me to the many faces joining together to educate and raise awareness about Black maternal health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With every session and speaker that I listened to, I was able to leave with more insight than what I came in with. Ranging from topics such as doulas, maternal nutrition, prenatal care, and other essential topics in maternal health, I was constantly learning throughout this weekend. During this conference, one speaker really stuck out to me and ignited an already lit fire in me that is ready to join the movement towards adequate health care for all Black women. This speaker was Kimberly Seals Allers, an author, journalist, and founder of the <a href=\"https:\/\/irthapp.com\/\">Irth App<\/a>. This app mirrors the\u00a0 \u201cyelp review\u201d style and is tailored towards\u00a0 Black women and maternal care. Users &#8211; ranging from healthcare professionals to mothers &#8211; are able to leave reviews on various providers and hospitals specific to maternity and infant care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0As a student studying both MCH and Health Education &amp; Communications, the innovation of this app is something that I praise and would love to hopefully add to. I would love to implement or contribute to\u00a0apps like this to increase accountability in the medical system, specific to Black care. Hearing Kimberly speak on this app and other work she\u2019s done definitely served as a reminder as to why I\u2019m studying what I\u2019m studying and also helped me set a visual goal as to what I\u2019d like to accomplish with the knowledge I am receiving at Tulane SPHTM. This conference served as a collection of teaching moments, but also gave me a plethora of individuals to look up to as role models and accomplishments I hope to someday obtain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><em><em>T<\/em>iwani Oseni, BS is a first year MPH student concentrating in Health Education &amp; Communications and earning a certificate in Maternal and Child Health.
