Hey family! The Black maternal health crisis in America is real and urgent. In this powerful episode, Michele LaMarr-Suggs, a passionate birth advocate and Certified Nurse Midwife, sheds light on the critical need for Black midwives in the fight for safer, more equitable birth experiences. Michele unpacks the deep systemic issues Black women face before, during, and after childbirth, and how bringing Black midwives and culturally rooted care back to the forefront can help reverse generational trauma and save lives.

Tune in as we explore:

• Why the U.S. remains one of the most dangerous places to give birth for Black women
  
  
  
• The power of midwifery and doula care in creating safe, empowering birth spaces
  
  
  
• The importance of representation and cultural understanding in maternal care
  
  
  
• How we can all be part of the change, from policy to personal advocacy
