Ahead of the mid-term elections, the co-director of the 2022 documentary 'Aftershock' writes that she made the film because 'the lawyer and mother in me could not tolerate a healthcare system that brazenly allowed Black women and babies to die from avoidable causes.'
The popularity of my children’s books granted me an opportunity to serve as the national spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Health’s “A Healthy Baby Begins With You” infant mortality awareness campaign from 2007 to 2013. Touring the country, I witnessed women and children, many of whom looked like my family but lacked essential health resources. Mothers were leaving the hospital without their babies and families were being denied their dignity.
After the documentary premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, we saw first-hand how much the families’ stories resonated with audiences. At Sundance, we won the Special Jury Award for Impact for Change. And soon after, Hulu’s Onyx Collective and ABC News acquired the film and slated it for a summertime release.
