I have an urgent appeal from one Black mother to other Black mothers. Here are four things we can do to come out of this pandemic stronger — gleaned from my experience with the Black Child Legacy Campaign.
The United States is a hard place to live if you are Black. Period. You can be old or young and Black; male, female or nonbinary and Black; poor or rich and Black. Our common Blackness subjects us to racial bias that negatively impacts our being, which the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated. This article is not, however, an explanation of how and why Blacks have long shouldered serious health disparities (although factual and serious). This is a call to action to prepare ourselves, our families and our communities for life after this pandemic.
