Why does giving birth feel scarier for Black and Brown families—and why are so many of us told the hospital is the only safe option? Are we choosing what’s best for us—or what we’ve been conditioned to fear less?

With Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula, Chris Gonzalez Baez, we’re unpacking the truth about home birth, doulas, and what really happens inside hospital delivery rooms. From personal birth stories to real talk about fear, safety, trust, and advocacy, we break down the myths that keep families misinformed—and often unheard.

This isn’t about “hospital vs. home.” It’s about knowledge, choice, and taking your power back during one of the most vulnerable moments of your life.

And stay tuned for the continuation of the conversation with Chris in next week's episode!
