First and foremost, the new platform aims to address Black maternal mortality -- i.e. the fact that Black women are three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy than white women. The new online-only platform will support expecting Black mothers by providing them with valuable resources throughout their pregnancy as well as for their [early days of parenting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-dove-1). In addition, The Black Maternal Health Hub will function as a community space where mothers can connect, stay informed, and be empowered. The new platform features resources such as mother-focused checklists, general information regarding Black maternal mortality, spaces for personal stories and advice, community discussion boards, and more.
