As we close out Black Maternal Mental Health Week 2022 I'm reminded of how The Shades of Blue Project was born from this very photo.

Being seen and being heard is the biggest piece of the healing process that we all need in order to keep pushing. I so appreciate each and everyone you who helped to Amplify Black Maternal Mental Health Week this year and I ask that you keep pushing towards Making SHIFT Happen where you are and in the communities you serve.
