Not Just Jasmine™ is the official maternal health initiative of Miss Black USA, created in partnership with the National Alliance of Faith and Justice. As part of this national movement, I developed a free Maternal Health Toolkit to help mothers, families, and communities recognize warning signs, advocate with confidence, and access trusted resources.
