Ep 4 Black Women and Fertility: Less Judgement, More Understanding with Filmmaker Chiquita Lockley

Infertility affects people from all walks of life, but why are Black women twice as likely to suffer from infertility and half as likely to seek treatment?

In this thought-provoking episode of Baby or Bust Chiquita Lockley, film director, and producer, discusses the perception and reality of infertility in the Black community with our host Dr. Lora Shahine.

This episode explores the complex relationship between fertility treatment and the Black community, spawning from historical burdens, stigmas, assumptions, and shame.
