ABOUT THIS EPISODE
BONUS EPISODE! Extra Support with Faisa Ali
Last week, we spoke with Olympic gold medallist Tianna Madison and maternal health advocate and doula Faisa Ali about Black maternal health.
This week on Extra Support, we're continuing the conversation with Faisa, diving deeper into why these disparities exist, how to advocate for yourself, the warning signs to look out for, and the support available before, during and after birth.
In this episode, we cover:
Pre-eclampsia & sepsis
Medical racism
Conscious & unconscious bias
Why Black women are more likely to have their concerns dismissed
How to advocate for yourself in healthcare settings
Plus so much more
Please take care while listening. If now isn't the right time, this conversation will still be here when you're ready.
