EBB 327 - Latina Advocacy and Fighting the Maternal Mortality Epidemic in California with Kimberly Turbin and Michele Monserratt-Ramos of Consumer Watchdog

We are joined by Kimberly Turbin and Michele Monserratt-Ramos, staunch advocates against obstetric violence driven by personal experiences and a commitment to marginalized communities.

Note: Read the transcript in English or español here! Or watch with closed captions on the EBB YouTube channel.

Kimberly's advocacy began after a traumatic birth experience in 2013, which she courageously shared publicly to ignite awareness and debate on obstetric mistreatment. Michele, with her extensive background in public interest and healthcare safety, collaborates with Kimberly to address maternal health issues, particularly affecting Latina women in California. Their joint efforts focus on systemic change, emphasizing the need for resources, education and support to ensure informed healthcare decisions and improved maternal health outcomes.
