Tatyana Ali Speaks Out on Black Maternal Health After Traumatic Birth
Tatyana Ali recounts a traumatic birth in which an emergency C-section and forcible restraint occurred after a healthy pregnancy, leaving her and her baby in the NICU and highlighting the high cost and emotional toll. She argues Black women face persistent bias and unsafe care in childbirth, draws parallels to Serena Williams’ experiences, and uses her platform to advocate for Black and Indigenous maternal health and support midwives and doulas—while continuing her public-facing effort to push for safer, more equitable care.
