In November 2024, we produced a short film to share the story so far of Black Maternity Matters and how we are trying to achieve our vision that one day Black mothers will no longer be disproportionately in danger during pregnancy and the first year after birth.
Collaboration is fundamental to our approach and enables us to push the boundaries on anti-racist training and practice within the NHS.
In our film, you’ll hear from all those involved in getting Black Maternity Matters off the ground, including:
- Sonah Paton – Black Mothers Matter
- Aisha Thomas – Representation Matters
- Katie Donovan-Adekanmbi, BCohCo
- Noshin Emamiannaenini-Menzies and Ann Remmers – Health Innovation West of England,
as well as several participants who have taken part in the Black Maternity Matters journey and have had their lives transformed as a result.
