Esther Dusabe-Richards and I are talking about her research on the impact of the Catholic church on reproductive decision making and gender and equity from a global health perspective in part 1 of our conversation. She also shares her experiences being in an interracial relationship, seeing the world through her partner's eyes, and how her exposure to different cultures at an early age contributed to priming her for the a-ha moments and self-reflections that would come her way as she increased her awareness and began her journey into parenthood.
