SAMIYRA ABDUS-SAMAD

Treasurer and Secretary

Graduate of Buffalo University with a Bachelor's in Sociology and African Studies. My experience as an African American woman and my studies present me with a unique ability to address the issues in our community and to be an asset to Divine Deliveries Center for Reproductive Health and Childbirth.

The increasing rate of maternal mortality with African American women continues to exist despite efforts to improve outcomes. We need to continue to conduct studies and research to determine the best evidence-based practice to employ to elicit desired results. I am excited about the tasks that lie ahead and enjoy being a part of this team of amazing women doing amazing work.
