As a Doula and lawyer for mothers, I saw first -hand how important it is that every woman feels safe and supported during her entire pregnancy, birth and after birth. But the reality is that not all women get care they earn – especially black mothers. In fact, black women in the United States die three to four times more often from pregnancy-related causes than white women-a heartbreaking and unacceptable reality that requires measures, awareness and systemic change. That is why today’s discussion is so important because we have to spread this message.
I had the honor to speak Dr. Bayo Curry-Winchell About the black crisis of maternal health. This discussion was full of passion and vulnerability when Dr. Bayo generously shared her personal birth history, the critical data that we all need to know, and powerful, practical ways to create changes. Although I do not share this experience, I believe that it is my responsibility – as a woman, mother and birth professional – to listen, learn and use my platform to protect and support everyone Mother. This episode is a must for everyone who takes care of improving the mothers in our country and all over the world.

In this episode I with Dr. Bayo entertained the black crisis of mother health and receive the details that we all need to know. Here are some of the questions we dealt with in our conversation:

- They were such a powerful voice in combating the mother’s black health crisis. Could you tell us some of the most effective statistics or facts with us that really emphasize the urgency of this problem?

This conversation with Dr. Bayo was incredible at eye level and I am so grateful for her leadership, vulnerability and strength. We can not blind the differences that consist of maternal care – especially for black women. As she reminded us, change begins with consciousness, education and lawyers. And their 3 CS can help us get the care that we earn.
If you have a expectant mother, a health service provider or just someone who wants to be part of the solution all Mothers. Because every mother deserves, protected, heard and appreciated – regardless of her breed, her background or Birth schedule. Let us continue to appear and be part of the change that our maternal health system needs so urgently.
