Celebrity chef Sophia Roe met her fiancé Chris on a dating app, leading to a whirlwind romance that resulted in both an engagement and an unexpected pregnancy. After getting engaged in Hawaii and discovering she was pregnant upon their return, Roe had a difficult time finding prenatal care in New York City as a Black woman over 35. Despite the challenges, she found support in Perelel, a company that provided tailored prenatal vitamins.
Roe’s experience highlights the disparities Black women face in accessing quality healthcare during pregnancy. Despite having resources, she struggled to find consistent care until her second trimester. The statistics showing that Black pregnant women are four times more likely to die are particularly alarming to Roe.
As she prepares to welcome her baby, Roe remains focused on continuing her career and integrating her child into her life. She hopes to be an inspiration to her child by balancing motherhood with her professional aspirations. Despite the challenges she faced, Roe remains optimistic and excited about the future with her growing family.
