About this listen

Chandra Martini is a Registered Midwife at Calgary Midwives Collective and the author of a fascinating research project on Black pioneer midwives in Western Canada. Today, she joins host Lolly de Jonge to chat about her ancestral roots as a descendant of Black pioneer midwives herself. They discuss what she learned about systemic disparities in perinatal care for Black Canadians, why race-based research is essential to understanding experiences and breaking down barriers for Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC) in Canada. Chandra also shares her personal thoughts on being a Black midwife in today's world.
