Black women in the United States are dying at alarming rates during pregnancy and childbirth—not because of biology, but because of systemic and medical racism. With the overturning of Roe v. Wade and increasingly restrictive reproductive health laws, all women are now at greater risk, especially those in marginalized communities.

At Diosa Ara, we focus on obstetrical emergencies and provide real-time support to protect women’s lives. Whether through education, clinical recommendations, or advocacy, we step in when women are at their most vulnerable. This work is self-funded because I’ve seen firsthand how traditional systems fail women—and I refuse to wait for change to come from the top.

The launch of Women’s Health: Where Politics and Power Collide is an extension of this mission.

What You’ll Find in This Newsletter

Through Women’s Health: Where Politics and Power Collide, we’ll provide high-impact content across five key areas:

1. Women’s Health and Politics

Updates on how policy decisions are reshaping women’s healthcare.

2. Scientific and Clinical Advances

Summaries of groundbreaking research and innovations.

3. Health Equity

Analysis of the disparities impacting women of color and actionable solutions.

4. Intersection of Culture, Race, and Technology

Insights on societal trends and technological advancements shaping women’s health.

5. Family, Parenting, and Motherhood

Practical resources for navigating health alongside family life.

This main newsletter will serve as the foundation, and from here, we’ll launch derivative sub-newsletters—each diving deeper into these specific areas for our paid subscribers.

Your Support Powers This Mission

This newsletter, and everything we’re building, is entirely self-funded. I’ve poured over $300,000 of my own resources into Diosa Ara because I believe in this work with every fiber of my being. I know firsthand how dangerous the current climate is for women, and I know that we cannot wait for institutions to fix this.

Every subscription to Women’s Health: Where Politics and Power Collide helps us expand our reach, refine our model, and empower women to live healthier, safer lives.
