In part 2 of Tabria’s riveting conversation with Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs and top midwife Debbie Allen, Debbie shares why empowering and supporting birthing parents before, during and after delivery leads to healthier outcomes, and the importance of consent and relationship in maternity care. Anna reflects on the direct impact birth experiences and maternity care has on one’s parenting, why insurance coverage for midwifery is a tangible step towards better care, and her certainty that if birthing people had the experiences that she, Debbie and Tabria had, it would solve our country’s maternal health crisis. 

The ladies unpack their postpartum experiences and the impact paid leave and midwifery can have (forget dragging you and your baby to a pediatric office - midwives come to YOU), and Debbie shares her pro tips on finding and working with midwives and OBs, as well as her ideal maternity care design, which includes autonomous birthing centers attached to hospitals and direly needed mental health services. Don’t miss Anna’s message of hope for families at the end!

Do you really know the history of obstetrics in the U.S. and what the patriarchy did to develop it? Bestselling author, advocate, educator, sociologist, speaker, and scholar Anna Malaika Tubbs returns with Tribe Midwifery founder Debbie Allen to expose the devastating origins of American obstetrics, which still endanger and marginalize women of color today, and call for a cultural and systemic shift in humanizing maternity care. Anna and Tabria share how they chose to give birth at home with midwives in order to feel safe, heard, informed, supported and respected, and Debbie clears up common misconceptions about what midwifery care really provides, including supporting families every step of the way. Anna reveals the topic of her upcoming book (!) and unpacks how many systems in our country were designed to marginalize and disempower the BIPOC community, women, and families - and how to do something about it.
