Many times grief and loss can sprout beautiful things; this is how Wanda Irving founded Dr. Shalon’s Maternal Action Project. Three years after she lost her daughter, Wanda started this organization to keep fighting to improve maternal mortality and morbidity in our country. She started this because there is a systemic racism issue across the board and the death of these women are preventable. They are working to empower, create awareness, and educate people about these issues. With BelieveHerApp, they are developing a community to let them know they are not alone going through loss. This conversation is a complete eye-opener; we hope you tune in and enjoy it.
