Recognizing signs of a stroke from prior knowledge, she acted quickly, although the event resulted in serious health consequences including being placed in a medically induced coma. Now, as 'Stroke Mama' on Instagram, she advocates for awareness about stroke symptoms and recovery, while highlighting the elevated risks faced by postpartum women, especially in the Black community, according to medical research.
