Thank you to everyone who joined us at our Walk the Talk event at Noble Funk Brewing Company on May 21. We had a great family sweat, enjoyed watching the kiddos play together, collected needed items for Granny's Birth Initiative and had an eye-opening discussion about the Black maternal health crisis.
