Join us for a powerful discussion and networking space to uplift and empower families of color on the fertility journey and also with maternal health issues . We are joining forces with trailblazing organizations to share about fertility and maternal health disparities between black women and all other groups as well as Georgia and federal legislation that impacts access to health care.
In addition to our distinguished panel, we will hear from several distinguished legislators about local and national laws that affect access to reproductive and maternal services.
