Listen Later

In the third installment of Robin Douthit's "Childbirth Luminaries" series, we delve into the world of maternal and infant health advocacy with award-winning journalist, five-time author, and international speaker, Kimberly Seals Allers.

Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation as we explore the Irth App, a groundbreaking app designed as a "Yelp-like" platform, specifically tailored to Black and Brown

parents, where important reviews within the full perinatal spectrum are used to combat bias and racism within maternity and infant care, creating a more inclusive and just environment for all.

Kimberly is a leading voice in the discourse surrounding the racial and socio-cultural complexities of birth, breastfeeding, and motherhood. She is also the visionary behind "Birthright," a podcast that centers on joy and healing in Black birth.
