Columbus just held another Black Maternal Health Summit and everybody clapping like something changed. Let’s cut the noise. Black babies in Ohio are dying at nearly 3x the rate of white babies. That’s not a gap, that’s a warning sign. They talking about $2 million and training 14 doulas like that’s supposed to move the needle. Do the math. Thousands of births, thousands of at-risk mothers, and the “solution” is small programs and press conferences. That’s not impact, that’s a rollout. They say “partnerships” and “we’re making progress,” but where are the results? Where are the numbers going down? Where is the accountability when they don’t? Because if the numbers don’t change, then nothing changed. Period. Telehealth, summits, conversations, all of that sounds good until you realize Black babies are still dying at the same rate. That means the system is comfortable managing the problem instead of fixing it. The Black Wall doesn’t care about speeches, it cares about outcomes. Show the before, show the after, and show who owns the failure if it stays the same. Young people need to understand this, policy is not words, policy is outcomes. And right now the outcome is this, you are 3x more likely to lose your child just for being Black. And they want applause for “trying.” Nah. Either the numbers drop or the system is failing you. And if it’s failing you, the next move is pressure, because nothing changes without it.
