This literature review from the National Black Child Development Institute’s Black Infant and Maternal Health Task Force takes a hard look at Black maternal and infant health disparities through the lenses of anti-Black racism, intersectionality, and Afrofuturism.
You’ll learn how structural racism and racial trauma drive adverse birth outcomes, like low birth weight, and contribute to preventable maternal deaths. We’ll also explore an Afrofuturist Systems Design Process that centers Black experiences, knowledge, and community wisdom to forge transformative, equity-driven solutions.
Whether you’re a parent, in health care, education, or policy, join us as we outline the comprehensive policy reforms and structural changes needed to dismantle oppressive systems and ensure Black families not only survive but thrive.
🔍 Key Takeaways:
The role of structural racism in maternal and infant health
Intersectional factors that exacerbate adverse birth outcomes
An introduction to Afrofuturist Systems Design for health equity
Actionable strategies for policy, clinical practice, and community leadership
