This week Jordan and I talk about the birth of Zora in rural MS and contrast that to the birth of Zion. 

As I watch the world adjust to the COVID crisis, I think about pregnant women who have to go into the hospital alone or with only one advocate. I think about what it means for Black women to be in the hospital without advocates (family, partners, friends etc.) It pains me. I have personally experienced and watched women I love get neglected, misdiagnosed, and misunderstood. It is all the more common without an advocate.
