Según la Dra Suzanne Serruya, esté año, por primera vez, la OMS y la OPS han decidido que nuestro enfoque en salud maternal y neonatal no solamente dirigiría las actividades del #DíaMundialDeSalud sino que también las de todo el año.

Porque las madres y los neonatos SÍ importan. 💪🤰🏽🤱👶🏿

World Book Day reading for future visioning…

“Freedom Farmers: Agricultural resistance and the Black Freedom Movement” by Monica M. White

Because farming is a praxis of food justice, which itself is co-constitutive of reproductive justice.
Cover of the audiobook, which notes that the text is read by the author. The Foreword was written by LaDonna Redmond, Founder of the Campaign for Food Justice Now. The cover has a photo of four young Black people farming in a community garden. Their faces are obscured as they work to tend their plants.

Sharifah Sekalala, @benjaminmasonmeier.bsky.social and I trace some of that history briefly here, but the NYT piece goes much deeper

Finished Hwang Sok-Yong’s Mater 2-10 last week and I’m still buzzing.

It follows a working class Korean family over a century, through the rise and fall of fascist Imperial Japan, painting an intimate portrait of resistance.

But that’s like calling 100 Years of Solitude a story about a family.
