Why are birth outcomes in the U.S. still so unequal and what can you actually do about it? In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Lincoln is joined by Silvia Salazar, a Colombian-born political content creator and founder of Tono Latino, and Rose Horton, RN, founder and CEO of Not On My Watch Consulting Partners and President of AWHONN, to unpack the reality of maternal health disparities, share powerful real-life experiences, and offer practical ways to advocate for yourself and others.  

We Talk About… 

• Maternal health disparities and why outcomes differ across racial and ethnic groups 

• How bias, communication gaps, and systemic barriers impact care 

• Real stories that highlight gaps in care and patient experience 

• How fear and access affect healthcare decisions in marginalized communities 

• Why respectful, patient-centered care matters 

• How to advocate for yourself and support others
