Community Power and Real-Time Insights

We are ending September with a focus on connection and preparation. From gearing up for the next Black Women in AI event to getting ready for the upcoming Financial Literacy conference, our team is busy turning community voices into actionable power.

Seeing Our Impact in Action

We are proud to share that we have completed three new case studies. These reports help us show exactly how lived experience transforms into meaningful data, providing a roadmap for the systemic change we all want to see.

Each study highlights the strength found within our communities when we keep residents in the loop. We invite you to explore these stories of impact and resilience as we continue to shift the narrative around what data can do.

Caring for the Heart of Measure

This month, we are centering our Chief of Operations, Vanetta Johnson. Vanetta is a vital part of our team who keeps the background running smoothly every single day.

Her work ensures that the people of Measure are truly cared for. By managing our internal operations with such intention, she makes it possible for the rest of us to show up fully for our community.

On the Road to Detroit

We are excited to head to Detroit, Michigan, to support the upcoming Funders for Birth Equity Conference. It is an important space for us to be in as we continue to advocate for maternal health and equity.

During the conference, Measure will be bringing real-time data syntheses to the forefront. We look forward to showing how immediate community feedback can shape better outcomes for Black mothers and families.
