“Black maternal health is a public health crisis.” - Dr. Veronica Gillispie-Bell
It is impossible to critically discuss maternal and child health in the US without talking about race and the challenges Black birthing families face; but luckily, doulas play a crucial role in addressing health disparities and closing equity gaps. In this episode, Tasia, Arlet, Jen, and Dr. Gillispie-Bell share their perspectives on how systemic racism and bias in healthcare affect Black mothers, and how doulas can serve as advocates to ensure they are seen, heard, and properly cared for. From firsthand experiences to observed patterns and trends, they highlight why it’s so important for Black birthing families to have doulas to support them in navigating a healthcare system that often overlooks their concerns, ignores their pain, and doesn’t treat them with the dignity and respect they deserve.
