EBB 324 - Blending Birth, Science, Technology, and Storytelling with Erica Chidi, Co-founder and CEO of LOOM

Erica Chidi joins us to share her journey from working as a full-spectrum doula to becoming an educator and leader in women's health. With over a decade of experience, Erica discusses how her upbringing in a medical family, coupled with her unique approach to doula work, led her to create LOOM, a health information app designed to empower women and non-binary individuals. She explains the app's mission to provide accessible, science-backed health information and personal stories that help users navigate their reproductive and overall health. The two also discuss the challenges and advancements in maternal healthcare, particularly for Black women, and the importance of addressing racial biases in medical settings.
