Breaking Barriers
Black mothers in South Carolina face significant challenges navigating maternal health care systems shaped by structural racism, gendered power, and historical inequities. Despite these conditions, they demonstrate resilience through advocacy, relational care, and culturally grounded coping strategies. Guided by critical race theory, Black feminist thought, resilience theory, and feminist ethics of care, this qualitative study explored the resili…
Motherless Mothering Among Black Women in the United States
This research paper explores the concept of “motherless mothering” among Black women, highlighting the unique challenges faced by those who have lost their mothers prior to becoming mothers themselves. Notably, nearly 40% of Black children experience the death of a parent by age 20, with maternal loss representing a significant portion of these cases. Grounded in the understanding that parental death disproportionately affects Black individuals, …
Judge Me Not
Black women in the United States face disproportionately high rates of maternal mortality, driven by structural racism, patient-provider mistreatment, and gendered and racial discrimination. However, little research has explored Black mothers’ perceptions of maternal health care services and structural racism in the Southeastern U.S. This study aims to address this gap by examining Black mothers’ maternal health care experiences in South Carolina…
From Cradle to Rocking Chair
Understanding the structural, social, and interpersonal mechanisms of racism in maternal health care experiences in Southeastern United States
Black women in the United States experience disproportionately poor maternal health outcomes, particularly in the Southeastern U.S. where structural racism is deeply rooted. Despite increasing research on interpersonal factors contributing to these disparities, limited attention has been paid to the structural mechanisms driving inequities. This conceptual paper addresses that gap by presenting a framework that examines the structural, social, an…
In search of a soft life
The Talk I Received From My Parents, I Gave to My Little Brother
While much literature examines racial socialization in Black families, specifically "the Talk," few studies focus on this process during emerging adulthood. Guided by relational communication and racism-related stress theories, this qualitative study examined Black emerging adults' experiences of "the Talk," a specific form of racial socialization that prepares Black individuals for encounters with racism and policing, and its impact on their per…
Ain't I a woman
Alarming statistics show that Black women in the United States (US) are disproportionately more likely to be killed by the police, and more likely to die during childbirth than their counterparts. However, despite growing attention to incidents of police killings and pregnancy-related deaths of Black women, there has been minimal effort to historically situate these inequities in the contexts of state-sanctioned violence. Coverage of these deadly…
Mental Health Care Disparities Among US Pregnant Individuals in 2020-2021

Methods This cross-sectional study analyzed self-reported unmet mental health needs and mental health care settings among 1097 pregnant respondents in the 2020-2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, incorporating the complex sampling weights for national represe…
Why Don’t We Learn About the Black Social Work Pioneers?” The Erasure of Black Social Workers’ Histories and Contributions—Implications for Social Work Education
While there is mounting research on the well-known white founders of social work, documentation of Black social work pioneers and their contributions is scarce – in both social work education and the broader telling of the profession's history. Given the systemic exclusion of Black social workers in the dominant narrative of social work history, there is a critical need to understand how social work education perpetuates and centers whiteness in …
