Toxic:  A film about a Black woman's pregnancy story and race-related stress on health and well-being @ Maple Heights Library, Story Book Room | Maple Heights | Ohio | United States

Toxic: A Black Woman’s Story explores a day in the life of “Nina,” a professional African American woman in her second trimester of pregnancy. The film depicts the cumulative effects of the chronic stress Nina experiences as a normal part of her daily routine. These experiences begin from the moment she wakes up and continue throughout the day, as she endures a myriad of stressful events that impact her health and well-being.

The collaboration between the City of Maple Heights and Pregnant with Possibilities Resource Center signifies our shared commitment to bring awareness to disparities in maternal and infant health by promoting a sustainable future for our community. We believe that by coming together and engaging in meaningful dialogue, we can inspire positive change and empower individuals and organizations to take action.
