Celebrating Black History Month

Category:

This Black History Month, we are lifting up Black caregivers, who have long been at the forefront of fighting for better systems of care and demanding solutions to the entrenched inequities that hit Black caregivers especially hard. 

That’s why, to kick off the month, we are sharing the words that Black caregivers in our network have so generously shared with us, in using their experience to call for change and vision the future we all need. 

• Why The Child Tax Credit is Essential by Dr. Connie Kitchens
• You’re not ok and it is a big deal: Why caregiving can be taxing on our mental health by Rebekah Alexander
• My Care Story by Sadé Dozan
