The #Black community *needs* to be talking about #NEC. As we’re less likely to receive proper communication from clinicians, we need easy access to info that can help us make informed decisions. To build a world without NEC for ALL of us, we need Black leaders & voices.

If you know of a Black family that’s expecting, that has a preemie/medically fragile baby, etc., please consider sharing this NEC Society resource with them: necsociety.org/nec-now/

I did an interview with a journalist a while back for part of an article about birth trauma. Seeing as today is world prematurity awareness day, I thought I might share it here too. 💜 https://www.irishtimes.com/health/your-family/2022/10/08/birth-trauma-i-spent-nine-months-terrified-anxious-and-a-shell-of-the-person-i-once-was/
