Explore the complexities and realities of Black maternal health in the United States through this thought-provoking TEDx talk by Karen Sheffield-Abdullah. Delve into the unique experiences of stress and anxiety faced by Black women during pregnancy and postpartum periods. Discover why, despite decades of research, maternal and infant outcomes for Black communities have not significantly improved. Consider novel approaches, such as culturally tailored mindfulness, to address mental and physical health challenges for Black pregnant and postpartum individuals. Learn about Dr. Karen's passion for promoting holistic, integrative strategies to enhance the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of Black women. Gain insights into the potential long-term health effects of stress, psychological trauma, anxiety, and depression on women's health and birth outcomes. Examine the bio-psycho-social benefits of self-compassion, mindfulness, and other mind-body therapies as complementary treatments to conventional modalities. Join Dr. Karen, a certified nurse-midwife, mindfulness instructor, mental health advocate, and mother of four, as she shares her vision for creating a society where Black women are seen, heard, and valued.
