As a Skin Scientist, mom of three, and postpartum depression survivor, my passion for skincare and Black maternal wellness runs deep. Skin health is a vital, yet often overlooked, component of Black maternal health. Our skin protects, warns, regulates, and it’s the first way we bond with our babies after birth. My personal struggle to find reliable skincare and self-care resources as a Black pregnant and postpartum woman highlighted a critical gap in Black maternal care. Now, I use my expertise and personal journey to support Black pregnant women in embracing holistic wellness, starting with their skin.
