ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Around the world, the color of your skin can still determine whether you survive childbirth.

Sandra Igwe, Founder of The Motherhood Group, speaks candidly about her own traumatic birth experience and how it led her to campaign for Black maternal health. She shares what the data show—Black women are 3.7 times more likely to die during pregnancy or childbirth—and how collective advocacy is shifting policy and perception.
