Ep 17: Birthing While Black: A Conversation on Black Maternal Health

Today, we welcome the multi-talented Ms. Ashly Emile, to lead us in the ongoing conversation about Black maternal health. We explore the historical context, current challenges, and the importance of community engagement in addressing healthcare disparities. Ashly shares her personal experiences and insights from her research on Black maternal health, including the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act. The question: how can we emphasize the need for support, education, and advocacy for Black women? The Kira Johnson Act leads us to also highlight the role of Black men in this movement. Lastly, we conclude with a call to action for listeners to engage in meaningful discussions and support initiatives that promote health equity while fighting these disparities in creative ways that make hard conversations, into more peaceful scenarios in our world. You matter. Black women matter. Black History matters. Always.

Today, we welcome to the show the phenomenal, Ms. Jeana Crump. An intellectual and dynamic speaker, Jeana leads us in discussion on several key topics that concern how we express our creative energy. We honor Oscar Micheaux, the first-known black filmmaker in America. After sharing his impact and the gems he dropped for our generation, this conversation is grounded on curiosity. Jeana emphasizes how to build on courage to embrace that childlike creativity that we tend to suppress due to our busy, everyday lives. Investing in yourself is hard. It's scary. But, just by being here, you ARE doing enough. Just get started, and we'll go from there. Love to y'all, enjoy the episode!

Some things just have to be talked about. Join us for a spiritually charged conversation to discuss the complex theme of humanity in light of recent events, particularly the assassination of political figure Charlie Kirk.
