About this listen

 America has a Black maternal mortality crisis. How do we treat it? Brooklyn midwife of over 25 years Helena Grant tells Nashia and Kate that everybody used to have a midwife. In most other developed nations, lots of people still do. And their maternal mortality rates are much lower than ours. Helena explains how obstetrics took the place of midwifery in the US — and the conversation unlocks a painful memory for Nashia.©2023 Pizza Shark Productions LLC (P)2023 Audible Originals LLC
