Breaking Down Barriers in Black Maternal Health

In this episode of the Healthy Project podcast, host Corey Dion Lewis sits down with Jazzmine Brooks, a doula advocating for better care for black mothers. Jazzmine shares her thoughts on the practice barriers that prevent proper care for black mothers, including the delegitimizing of their knowledge, and the lack of affordable access to midwifery practices. She also shares her work supporting direct-entry midwifery programs to give community members access to the care they need. Throughout the conversation, Jazzmine highlights the importance of diversity in the field to drive change and improve health outcomes for black mothers.
