Black Midwives are Black history and Black futures.

A 25 year study reveals the disproportionate effect that menopause has on Black women. And it’s difficult to not identify structural racism as the culprit.

@CrookedMedia Thank you for uplifting the importance of cultural birth practices and doula care 💜 and for having me on the show.

[Crooked Media @CrookedMedia]

"So now you've got a community that's separated from its cultural inheritance, which is doula care. Just for lack of funds or this disconnection from that knowledge. And so, it's really important to restore and reclaim these cultural inheritances."

[Crooked Media @CrookedMedia]

"But those grandmother midwives were operating in segregated conditions in the Jim Crow South, and then they started getting overregulated and eventually were eradicated as births moved into the hospitals post industrialization."

[Crooked Media @CrookedMedia]

"As I described the heritage of the grandmother midwives, that was community care that was accessible to all."

[Crooked Media @CrookedMedia]

"I grew up with stories around the sacredness of the grandmother and the teachings of the grandmother and her healing the community and catching all the babies and being the first Black woman to have a phone because somebody had to call the midwife."

[Crooked Media @CrookedMedia]

"I mean, [doula care] expensive. It's like a fancy luxury item, which it should not be."

[Crooked Media @CrookedMedia]

"Black and indigenous communities, the most harm is present in our maternal mortality rates and infant mortality rates. So in order to bring some balance, [doula] services ideally should be accessible to all with no cost." - @KhefriRiley on the beautiful world of birth work 👇
