On Friday, RMA of New York hosted a special screening of Christine Swanson's film 'Albany Road' at Film at Lincoln Center theater. Following the movie, Rachel Nicks led an inspiring, heartfelt panel on navigating infertility, family building and more - themes in the film - with RMANY's Tia Jackson-Bey, M.D., MPH and the film's Christine Swanson and Renée Elise Goldsberry. Friends for over 25 years, Renée Elise Goldsberry and Christine Swanson first connected on Swanson’s film 'All About You' (2001). Goldsberry landed the starring role – and shortly thereafter, Swanson went on to conceptualize 'Albany Road' with Goldsberry as the lead. Though, filming was tabled; over the next two decades, the two moved forward differently in their careers and family-building paths. Christine Swanson grew her family, sharing: “I never anticipated having kids. All I wanted to do was make movies,” and then I went on to have four amazing children. Meanwhile, Renée was starring onstage and on screen, yet struggling to conceive – a challenge only increased by pressures faced as a young, female actress. She reflects: “You’re told that you have a specific window of time as an actor. This one window is your time. It’s confusing, it’s dark, when you’re trying to have both. It almost feels impossible.” Renée, now the proud mother of two kids, has also spoken candidly on her path to motherhood in her recent documentary, 'Satisfied' (2024). For women, there unfortunately is a finite period of time for reproduction, as they are born with all of the eggs they will have; overtime, the quantity, and quality, significantly declines, making it increasingly challenging to achieve a healthy pregnancy. At RMA of New York, Mount Sinai Health System’s Division of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, physicians such as Dr. Tia Jackson-Bey spend their days educating and empowering patients about their reproduction and the decisions that can be made to improve their overall health and family-building options. Amongst Dr. Jackson-Bey’s passion is sharing information around the ‘Black Fertility Myth,’ a common misconception that infertility is mainly a "white" issue. In reality, Black women are almost twice as likely to experience fertility issues as their white counterparts, but only 8% of Black women seek medical help, when compared to 15% of white women. Rachel Nicks, multi-hyphenate actress, fitness instructor, doula and more, founded her non-profit Birth Queen to help combat the Black maternal health crisis. Birth Queen is a resource that Black women and birthing people can trust and feel confident knowing there is someone advocating for them and breathing new life into the birth world with funding, education, and support. Stay tuned for more coverage from the night's conversation - and thank you to the engaged crowd that came out and showed their support.
