<p><strong>In this episode, my friend Esther shared her experience with postpartum depression. For most women, the experience of pregnancy and welcoming a new baby into their family is a joyous occasion. However, when Esther found out she was pregnant in 2006 with her second child with a partner she no longer wanted to be with, she found herself feeling angry, alone, fearful, and sad. Those feelings increased after she gave birth to her son. Esther shared how she found herself crying all the time and how she had thoughts of hurting her baby.</strong></p> <p><strong>Postpartum depression has quickly become a silent epidemic for black mothers. Black women are experiencing higher rates of depression compared with the general population. There are many factors why PPD is impacting black mothers, which I discussed in this episode.</strong></p> <p><strong>Here are some links that provide useful information on postpartum depression (PPD).</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.blackwomenbirthingjustice.com/"><strong>https://www.blackwomenbirthingjustice.com/</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://postpartumprogress.com/"><strong>https://postpartumprogress.com/</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://pmhapoc.org/our-vision/"><strong>https://pmhapoc.org/our-vision/</strong></a></p> <p><a href="https://blackmamasmatter.org/"><strong>https://blackmamasmatter.org/</strong></a></p>

<p>In this episode, my guest Antoinette discusses her experience working in a high-level organization while dealing with Lupus. Antoinette shares how her boss treated her unfairly once her lupus flared-up and she needed medical attention. Antoinette is a highly educated black woman with experience in her field, was made to feel incompetent and slow while at work. She received very little to none compassion regarding her health. Unfortunately, her story is not unique to many black women and so I'm honored to have had the opportunity to speak with Antoinette.</p> <p><a href="//">https://www.lupus.org/news/black-women-develop-lupus-at-younger-age-with-more-lifethreatening-complications</a><br> <a href="//">https://www.self.com/story/lupus-women-of-color</a><br> <a href="//">https://www.bustle.com/p/lupus-affects-more-women-of-color-than-white-women-heres-why-2343812</a><br> <a href="//">https://bwa-inc.org/may-is-lupus-awareness-month-2/</a></p>
