On Saturday, October 19, U.S. Rep. Nikema Williams, Bravo stars and healthcare leaders Dr. Jackie Walters and Dr. Heavenly Kimes, and Dr. Shawana Moore, an Atlanta-based healthcare provider, joined Team Harris-Walz and the Democratic Party of Georgia for a fireside chat at the subject of black moms’ health. Community leaders addressed the threats posed by Trump’s abortion bans and the stakes of this election for girls and families in Georgia and across the country.

Additionally, distinguished medical figures in Atlanta shared their personal experiences and skilled knowledge of Black maternal health.

With just 17 days until Election Day, they highlighted Vice President Harris, Governor Walz and Democrats’ vision for the United States to guard women’s reproductive freedom in comparison with Donald Trump and J.D. Vance’s Project 2025 agenda.

“We heard over and over again from Amber Thurman’s mother that her death was preventable, and that’s why when we hear people like Donald Trump bragging about overthrowing the government, we know it doesn’t have to be that way,” said U.S. Rep. Nikema Williamsa. “But everyone, there is a new way forward on the horizon. Amber’s mom said she is not political. She said she never actually even voted before because she didn’t think it mattered, but now she understands the power we put into office and she’s on the campaign trail making sure we get the vote out there and remind people what is important in this election, standing up for our freedoms.”

Bravo’s Dr. Heavenly shared her thoughts in a fireside chat on Instagram: “It was such a pleasure to join @therealdrjackie @drmimi.care and many politicians and voters. At a pre-rally event to discuss the importance of having the freedom to choose what is good for our bodies. !! #DrHeavenly #married2med #kamalaharris #Harris/Waltz #kamalaharris2024– she wrote within the caption. The star shared along with her fans a video with photos from Saturday’s event.

Similarly, Dr. Jackie posted her thoughts from Saturday’s event on social media together with photos of herself posing with fans and other speakers.

“Every woman deserves the right to make her own choices about her body, her future and her family. Reproductive freedom is about trusting women to make the best decisions for themselves and their loved ones, without interference or judgment. It is a necessity for equality, dignity and justice. #ReproductiveRights #MyBodyMyChoice #FreedomofChoice #Womenempowerment” – we read in her Instagram caption.
