Clo Abe and Tinuke Awe are the founders of Fixe X More, a brilliant movement highlighting and changing Black maternal health outcomes. Black women are five times more likely to die during pregnancy and childbirth compared to white women in the UK. This disparity has reduced but it is still 2.9 times the risk.
Tinuke experienced preeclampsia during her pregnancy which was diagnosed extremely late and through meeting Clo on Tinuke's social media platform connecting black mothers, Mums and Tea, they decided that they must do something.
Clo and Tinuke are brilliant, as individuals and as a powerhouse of a pair. It is their mission to enable black women to no longer fear childbirth and for the disparity to disappear.
This episode is fascinating and heartbreaking, and also warm and inspirational. They are forces of nature, passionate and committed, and making a huge difference.
Thank you for listening, Tabs and Kate ❤️
