The maternal care crisis in the United States refers to more than just the country’s high rate of maternal mortality and infant mortality. It also includes adverse pregnancy outcomes like miscarriage, premature birth, and the development of conditions such as gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, eclampsia, embolism, and postpartum depression.

Yes, even I grew up participating in cultural appropriation and whitewashing (did anyone else wear a headband with a feather while learning about the so-called blissful shared meal between the Pilgrims and Indians?) Thankfully, these false and violent narratives are continually exposed, and conversations about decolonizing, reframing, and rethinking Thanksgiving are emerging. It would be easy to cancel Thanksgiving completely, but since it seems to be sticking around, parents should choose this time of year to focus on the power of gratitude....

Is it weird that a bowl full of freshly popped, lightly buttered popcorn excites us? No, really, hear us out: It’s like this blank canvas that you can flavor in so many different ways. Want it sweet?

When news spread this week that singer August Alsina was alleging a years-long affair with Jada Pinkett Smith, many were shocked — but not for the reason you’d think.

I was a busy mom of two little boys, ages 7 and 3, and a brand new little girl. I was married to a wonderful husband, and life was grand.

Thinking you won’t be around to watch your children grow up is every parent’s second worst nightmare (after, of course, fears for their own health). And it’s the exact nightmare that Pink was faced with in the spring of 2020, when both she and her then 3-year-old son Jameson tested positive for COVID-19.
