Her why is clear—too many outcomes are preventable, yet too many voices go unheard. And still, she finds hope in the strength of Black mothers, the joy of her thriving daughter, and a community that continues to rise, advocate, and uplift.
A two-time HELLP syndrome survivor, Ebony turned a traumatic entry into motherhood into a mission: to speak up for Black women who are too often dismissed, unheard, and left unprotected in maternal care.
In our latest Take 10 conversation with ambassador Ebony Ford from the Preeclampsia Foundation, we hear a story rooted in survival, resilience, and advocacy.

It's important to note that weight gain of more than 3-5 lb in a week can be an indicator of #preeclampsia. Damaged blood vessels due to preeclampsia allow more water to leak into & stay in the body's tissue & not to pass through the kidneys
