"The event was phenomenal!  One thing that stays with me is the power of community, activism, and art in healing and transforming pain into purpose. I'm also moved by the call to action to re-envision and reimagine a system of care that looks at their experience of birthing that is holistic, community, and family-centered and honors the process of pregnancy, labor, and postpartum experiences."     -Tanya Moore, PhD, Managing Partner and Founder, Intersecting Lines, LLC

“Thank you for bringing "Aftershock, Tonya Lewis Lee, Omari Maynard, and Bruce McIntyre to Oakland for this screening.  This film is a brilliant and necessary watch; you can’t leave unchanged. I left the film devastated but also inspired by Omari and Bruce and how they have channeled immeasurable grief into activism. I hope this film and the stories of Shamony Gibson and Amber Rose Isaacs inspires collective action to end the black maternal mortality crisis." -Michelle Wong, Kaiser Permanente

“Personally, I am still experiencing the aftershock from the Aftershock screening. The film and the panel discussion were so powerful and moving for me, having experienced the same exact health condition as Amber Rose Isaac (the second mother whose story was featured in the film). I realize how lucky I am. I feel more educated and more aware of the disparities impacting Black women in their maternity journeys.” - Chuan Teng, PRC CEO

“Thank you for exposing the structural inequities that black women experience daily inside and outside the healthcare system that contribute to the high maternal mortality rate. I took so much away from the experience of the families in this film. We need to do a better job attacking this problem's root causes and ensuring clinicians understand how they contribute to the bias and racism implicit in our healthcare system. I applaud your continued work in sounding the alarm and working towards a system that delivers culturally responsive care that shows that black mothers and black lives matter.” -Joleen Ruffin, Kataly Foundation

“Aftershock underscores the ongoing trauma, and irreparable harm, done to Black families who needlessly suffer the loss of a Black mother.  It’s ironic that the disparate birth outcomes Black women experience is now being called a ‘public health crisis.’   We know that due to the many social determinants of health that plague the Black community, this issue has existed for some time. We also know and have known what can be done to address the factors that lead to these outcomes.  Even in the midst of indescribable loss, the young men featured in the story turn their pain into purpose.  Once again, those most impacted are also those driving the needed change.  The fact that the morbidity and mortality rates are worse now than in my mother’s generation is appalling…and telling!  The real question is how much do we value Black life…do Black lives really matter?  If the answer is yes; then, we must begin with protecting the lives of Black women and babies by insuring there is access to quality, culturally affirming, humane, respectful, responsive prenatal and postpartum care.”   – Carla Keener, First 5 Alameda County

“Aftershock was an incredible film. Considering such deeply tragic and avoidable deaths of black mothers, I was inspired by the resilience of the young fathers who are carrying the torch to equity in black maternal health. There is so much more work to do but this film is one that will be used to champion the work and honor the mothers who left this earth too soon.” -Sarah Tiffany Richardson-Baker, Felton Institute
