Mahmee
Williams is also an investor in a Los Angeles- based digital startup created to digitally monitor maternal health.
Mahmee is set to halt the continuous rise in maternal mortality affecting black women in the USA with technology.
To date, the tech company’s network includes 1,000 providers and organizations like UCLA, Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Altamed, and Cedar-Sinai Medical Center.
Williams’ investment comes as a result of complications through childbirth. According to Vogue, “She had to have multiple operations when she sustained a pulmonary embolism the day after giving birth to her daughter at the age of 36.”
Mahmee was founded in 2014 by Melissa Hanna, it is an online platform that allows women to track their health and the health of their children after giving birth. The company connects users with supplemental health professionals, like lactation consultants, to ask questions they feel are not rising to the level of contacting their doctor.
