Marz Lovejoy, a New York-based musician, Fenty X Savage model, culture editor and humanitarian, livestreamed her son's home birth on Tuesday.
Last month, a 26-year-old woman of color namedthrough an emergency Caesarean in New York. Lovejoy took to social media to share her thoughts on the issue, saying, “This activism and heart-work must continue. It is truly life or death.” Lovejoy plans to donate a portion of the money she raised to Isaac’s family as well.The harsh realities such as Isaac’s and those of other mothers of color are the reason why Nadine Ashby, who was Lovejoy’s doula, got involved in the field.
Advocacy “is at the heart of my doula business,” Ashby said. “It is so important because those statistics are the result of implicit bias and people can say, ‘Oh, well — what about diet and what about socioeconomic status,’ but there are studies that show even a black woman who has all of the resources, the money [and] the education has the same outcome as the one who doesn’t have all of those things. And so the common denominator here is bias. It’s racism.
Lovejoy said she will continue to raise awareness about maternal mortality and home births through her socially conscious. In the meantime, Lovejoy and her loved ones will enjoy the latest addition to their family, Mars, while also trying to navigate the global COVID-19 crisis. “This is only the beginning,” Lovejoy said in an Instagram post. “There’s work that needs to be done.”
