Thank you for having us at the Aftershock Pre-Screening Townhall & Maternal Support Resource Fair. New Jersey is ranked among the highest in the nation for maternal deaths, with black women 7 times more likely to die in childbirth than white women. This heartbreaking trend is documented through real families in the film, "Aftershock," which will be featured during the
Teaneck International Film Festival on November 20, 2022. Prior to viewing the film, local advocacy and healthcare organizations hosted a critical discussion on black maternal health.
