An Urgent Plea for Black Maternal Health Justice

Send us a text

As I sat across from Dr. Mitchell, her words struck me with the weight of an undeniable truth: Black women face a harrowing reality within our healthcare system. This podcast episode is not just a conversation; it's a stark revelation of the disparities in Black maternal health, a space where being heard and receiving equitable care can be a matter of life and death. We peel back the curtain on this critical issue during Black Maternal Health Week, with Dr. Mitchell sharing not only data but her own chilling experiences that mirror the fears and struggles of countless Black mothers.

This heart-to-heart extends an invitation to join the urgent call for systemic change, highlighting the resilience and advocacy required to navigate the treacherous waters of maternal healthcare. Dr. Tomi's own distressing encounters with postpartum hemorrhages and the battle for my voice to resonate with medical professionals serve as a testament to the broader narrative. It's an emotional journey through personal accounts and a collective determination to amplify the conversation, foster awareness, and ignite a transformation to safeguard the health of Black mothers and their babies.
