Black Women's Health

In this week’s family meeting, we discuss women’s health, more specifically, the inequity seen and experienced by black women, concerning their healthcare. We also tackle the age old debate between birthing centers vs. traditional hospitals, doulas, midwifery and the big business of child birth. Pull up a seat.
