Black maternal health with Liz, a community midwife
•
Sandra Soteriou & Kanar Ahmed
Black women who often face racial discrimination throughout their lives experience unacceptably poor maternal health outcomes, including disproportionately high rates of death related to pregnancy or childbirth. On this episode we talk with Liz, a community midwife about racial and ethnic differences in child birth complications and maternal death rates. The disparity has everything to do with the lived experience of race.
