Black Maternal Health Disparities
The alarming rate of pregnancy-related deaths and complications among black women in the U.S. exposes the grave disparities in the maternal healthcare system. This stark inequality, primarily attributed to systemic racism and bias, necessitates urgent intervention. Education, awareness, and open conversations form the bedrock of reducing these disparities, empowering black women to seek appropriate care and advocate for themselves.
In a powerful and emotional discussion, four remarkable women shared their personal journeys and expertise on Black maternal health disparities, but what they revealed was beyond anything we could have imagined. Stay tuned as we unravel the remarkable tales of resilience and advocacy.

We see this pain. Pain is the one "I got you" when it comes to medicine, because if I say I have pain and you rate it as a two, but I told you it was a ten, did you believe me? - Dr. Kendra Outler
