Actress, beauty guru, and producer Teyonah Parris is pregnant and glowing! She surprised

“We’re pregnant!!” the actress wrote in the Instagram post’s caption. “Whooooo chiiile!! I’m so excited to share that we have a baby on the way. There have been so many feelings since we’ve learned that our dream of becoming parents is finally a reality. My husband, James, and I have felt a mix of shock, lots of nerves, but most of all, so much excitement! Seeing the word PREGNANT was such an amazing feeling! We are so blessed and so grateful.”

The post was also a part of a partnership she has with the company to raise awareness for Black moms and maternity health.

“As part of this exciting moment, I wanted to help raise awareness for Clearblue partner @marchofdimes and their amazing efforts to raise awareness for Black maternal and infant health,” the post continued. “They offer a training for health care providers with the goal of addressing implicit bias in the health care system to avoid perpetuating the cycles of attitudes and stereotypes that unconsciously affect one’s understanding, actions and decisions in order to achieve equity for all moms and babies.”

“And their #ItStartsWithMom campaign continues to provide moms and moms-to-be with resources and information on topics ranging from getting ready to be a mom to maternal health and wellness. I encourage you to check out their website and Instagram to see how you can help support women to feel better prepared for pregnancy and what’s to come.”
