“My name is Adaoma, and like so many Black women in the UK, what should have been a joyful first pregnancy turned into a nightmare.” 💔
In this powerful video, Adaoma shares her deeply personal story of dismissive care and trauma during childbirth-an experience far too common for Black women. Did you know that Black women are 83% more likely to experience severe complications during pregnancy or childbirth than white women?
But this reality can be changed. With your support, we can provide Black mothers with culturally sensitive birth plans, access to mental health resources, and the care they need to feel safe and empowered.
💜 Until 12pm (GMT+1) on 17th October, every donation to our Big Give Women & Girls Match Fund will be doubled, helping us provide life-saving support to mothers like Adama. Let’s change the narrative together.
