Sarah Bennett+FollowThe Hidden Link Between Pollution & FertilityEver think about how where you live could mess with your health in ways you can’t even see? Turns out, Black families are way more likely to live near factories and breathe in air loaded with invisible toxins—and it’s hitting their fertility hard. We’re talking hormone disruption, infertility, miscarriages, and more. And the wildest part? Most people don’t even connect pollution to these struggles. It’s not just about the air—it’s about justice, too. #EnvironmentalJustice #BlackMaternalHealth #InvisibleThreats #HealthDisparities #Health60Share
Dr. Ryan Newton+FollowPregnant, Brain Dead & Stuck in Legal Limbo?A Georgia woman was declared brain dead while 2 months pregnant, but doctors are keeping her on life support because of strict abortion laws that give fetuses legal rights. Her family has no say, and they’re left waiting months to see if the baby will survive or have disabilities. This case is sparking huge debates about personhood, racial equity, and who really gets to make these impossible decisions. Wild, heartbreaking, and so complicated. #WomensRights #ReproductiveJustice #HealthEquity #PersonhoodDebate #BlackMaternalHealth #Health2014Share
