Did you know that Black and Indigenous women in the U.S. are significantly more likely to have cesarean births—often unnecessarily—and face higher maternal mortality rates? This isn’t just a coincidence; it’s a systemic issue rooted in implicit bias, medical coercion, and a lack of informed consent.
In this episode, we’re breaking it all down:
➡️ The statistics that expose these disparities
➡️ How racism in medicine influences birth choices
➡️ Real stories from mothers who have experienced coercion or neglect
➡️ What needs to change—from policy shifts to provider accountability
Every mother deserves safe, respectful, and equitable birth care. Let’s have this conversation.
