After near-fatal childbirth and miscarriage, Timoria exposes systemic failures in maternal health in the U.S. Transitioning from celebrity makeup artist to advocate, she pays the price for amplifying silenced voices, demanding equity and reform. A powerful call for change. #QuestPit #Q #W #NF #M

THE WILL TO CARE* by Timoria McQueen is a raw, inspiring memoir of survival and advocacy. After near-fatal childbirth and miscarriage, she exposes systemic maternal health failures, especially for Black and rural women. Transitioning from celebrity makeup artist to fierce advocate, McQueen pays the price for amplifying silenced voices, demanding equity and reform. A powerful call for change.
