Dr. Shalon's Maternal Action Project introduces:
Grandmothers Rallying Against Maternal Mortality & Morbidity Sisterhood! (GRAMMS)
Dr. Shalon's Maternal Action Project confronts the stark reality of maternal mortality among Black women in the United States.
It's an unacceptable truth that Black women face significantly higher rates of death related to childbirth compared to other racial or ethnic groups. Many of these deaths are preventable with proper medical care, yet systemic issues persist, leading to unnecessary loss.
Have you experienced the loss of a loved one during childbirth?
We understand that profound grief and heartache accompany the loss of a loved one, especially during what should be a joyous time.
What is GRAMMS?
Grandmothers Rallying Against Maternal Mortality Sisterhood (GRAMMS) is a dedicated program that supports Black women navigating the aftermath of maternal mortality. GRAMMS offers a safe and nurturing environment where participants can connect, share experiences, and build a strong sisterhood.
Our FREE program provides educational resources, emotional well-being workshops, and advocacy training to empower women to become effective community voices.
