On this episode, we take a deep look at the current state of Black maternal health in America and the ongoing crisis impacting Black women and birthing people. We’re joined by Raena Granberry, Director of Maternal and Reproductive Health at the Black Women’s Health Project, and Racha Tahani Lawler, with the Black Infant Health Program in West Oakland. Our guests unpack the systemic racism driving disparities in maternal and infant outcomes, share what they’re seeing on the ground, and highlight community-centered approaches that are working to protect Black mothers, babies, and families.
