In her announcement, Kelis issued a message to Black mothers who are also enduring pregnancies amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“There are so many things to consider during this time in your life, especially during the crazy times that we live in — from what we eat, to how we live and love," wrote the "My Life on a Plate" author. “This is the time we must take for ourselves without apologies, especially when we still live in a country where Black women historically have had the highest maternal mortality rates.”
