Episode #73: Maternal Health Justice and Care for Black Women

Black women are three to four times more likely to experience a pregnancy-related death than white women. Alice Freeman calls for maternal health justice as Black women continue to experience high rates of maternal mortality. In conversation with Dr. P, Alice Freeman reminds us of the rich legacy and culture of Black women as midwives and how this ancient art of escorting humanity into the world is continuing to strive today even amid COVID-19.
