At the time, we felt it was crucial to make because Black women had the highest maternal mortality rate in the United States. The CDC actually called it a crisis. Recently, we checked back in with this crisis to see what鈥檚 changed in two years, and learned that maternal deaths have dropped 鈥� just not for Black women. So, we figured it鈥檚 time to press play on this. Again.
