2025-04-11 | 00:00
Featuring Exclusive Panel Moderated by Lamman Rucker, April 13, 2025, 7:00-10:00 p.m., at the Ray Charles Performing Arts Center
ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, April 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- 4Kira4Moms, in partnership with Amerigroup, is proud to present a special Black Maternal Health Week screening of The Ebony Canal on Sunday, April 13, 2025, at 7 p.m., at the Ray Charles Performing Arts Center. The event will feature a pre-screening reception, a film screening, and an exclusive panel discussion moderated by actor and activist Lamman Rucker.Narrated by Academy Award-winning (EGOT) icon Viola Davis and directed by Emmai Alaquiva, The Ebony Canal is a masterful cinematic poem that examines the disparities of infant mortality and maternal health among Black and Brown women.
A Powerful Tribute to Black Mothers & A Call for Change
Described by Director Emmai Alaquiva as his “love letter to Black women and Black mothers,” this heartfelt documentary seeks to honor their stories while galvanizing change to create a future where maternal care is equitable for all.
The Ebony Canal explores the journey of hurt, healing, and hope, amplifying the voices of four courageous mothers—Mariah Peoples, Larissa Lane, Alana Yzola Daly, and Rachel Strader—along with their families and healthcare professionals on the front lines of systemic inequities.
Featuring collaborative insights from Former Vice President Kamala Harris, Lamman Rucker, Kimberly Seals Allers, Charles Johnson, and creative contributor actress and advocate Keke Palmer, the film seeks to spark solution-driven practices that transform the future of maternal care.
Why It Matters
Maternal health disparities remain a glaring crisis in the United States. Black women are three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women, even when accounting for income and education levels. Additionally, Black and Brown infants face significantly higher mortality rates, with Black newborns more than twice as likely to die within their first year of life compared to white newborns.
The maternal health crisis is not just a public health issue—it is a human rights issue. The Ebony Canal amplifies the urgency for systemic change, shedding light on the root causes of these inequities, including racial bias in healthcare, lack of access to quality prenatal care, and systemic failures in maternal health policy. The film provides a platform to galvanize partnerships, drive meaningful advocacy, and inspire tangible action toward a future where all mothers receive the care they deserve.
Exclusive Panel Discussion Featuring Industry Leaders
Following the screening, a dynamic panel discussion will take place, bringing together some of the nation’s most influential maternal health advocates:
• Emmai Alaquiva – acclaimed director of The Ebony Canal
• Charles Johnson – maternal health activist & founder of 4Kira4Moms
• Kimberly Seals Allers, founder, Irth App, journalist, author
• Dr. Madeline Sutton, MPH, FACOG – CEO of One Brain 4 Health, LLC
This panel will explore real-world solutions to the maternal health crisis and discuss how communities can take action to protect Black mothers and their babies.

Polacy nie korzystają z hossy trwającej na warszawskiej giełdzie. Na wzrostach zarabiają głównie inwestorzy zagraniczni
Od października 2022 roku na rynkach akcji trwa hossa, nie omija ona także warszawskiej giełdy. Mimo to inwestorzy indywidualni odpowiadają zaledwie za kilkanaście procent inwestycji, a o wzrostach decyduje i na nich zarabia głównie kapitał z zagranicy. Widać to również po napływach i odpływach do i z funduszy inwestycyjnych. Zdaniem Tomasza Koraba, prezesa EQUES Investment TFI, do przekonania Polaków do inwestowania na rodzimej giełdzie potrzeba zysków z akcji, informacji o tych zyskach docierającej do konsumentów oraz czasu.
Wśród Polaków rośnie zainteresowanie produktami emerytalnymi. Coraz chętniej wpłacają oszczędności na konta IKE i IKZE
Blockchain zmienia rynek pracy i edukacji. Poszukiwane są osoby posiadające wiedzę z różnych dziedzin
Polacy odczuwają brak wiedzy na temat inwestowania. Może to sprzyjać podejmowaniu nieracjonalnych decyzji finansowych
Wiedza Polaków o gospodarce i finansach niewystarczająca. To może się przekładać na błędne decyzje inwestycyjne
Investors TFI: Hossa na giełdach nie skończy się przed 2026 rokiem. Wszystko będzie zależeć od trendu na Wall Street
Polityka
Obowiązek zapełniania magazynów gazu w UE przed sezonem zimowym ma zapewnić bezpieczeństwo dostaw. Wpłynie też na stabilizację cen
Unia Europejska przedłuży przepisy z 2022 roku dotyczące magazynowania gazu. Będą one obowiązywać do końca 2027 roku. Zobowiązują one państwa członkowskie do osiągnięcia określonego poziomu zapełnienia magazynów gazu przed sezonem zimowym. Magazyny gazu pokrywają 30 proc. zapotrzebowania Unii Europejskiej na niego w miesiącach zimowych. Nowe unijne przepisy mają zapewnić stabilne i przystępne cenowo dostawy.
Infrastruktura
Gminy zwlekają z uchwaleniem planów ogólnych zagospodarowania przestrzennego. Może to spowodować przesunięcie terminu ich wejścia w życie
Reforma systemu planowania i zagospodarowania przestrzennego rozpoczęła się we wrześniu 2023 roku wraz z wejściem w życie większości przepisów nowelizacji ustawy z 27 marca 2003 roku. Uwzględniono w niej plany ogólne gminy (POG) – nowe dokumenty planistyczne, za których przygotowanie mają odpowiadać samorządy. Rada Ministrów w kwietniu br. uchwaliła jednak ustawę o zmianie ustawy z 7 lipca 2023 roku, a jej celem jest zmiana terminu obowiązywania studiów uwarunkowań i kierunków zagospodarowania przestrzennego gmin na 30 czerwca 2026 roku. Wskazana data może nie być ostateczna z uwagi na to, że żadna z gmin nie uchwaliła jeszcze POG.
