About this listen
Focusing directly on Black women veterans, this episode looks at what happens when racism and sexism collide in VA and community care. It explores key risks—like military sexual trauma, intimate partner violence, reproductive coercion, and maternal health inequities—and shows how policy instability around reproductive health can further erode trust. The episode offers a clear picture of what high-quality, trauma-informed, survivor-centered care should look like: real options, informed consent as a living practice (not just a signature), and freedom from coercion. Listeners hear how trust (or its absence) affects engagement, retention, and health-related quality of life, and they walk away with concrete examples of what Black women veterans, clinicians, and leaders can each do to make care safer and more dignified.
