Black mothers are dying at 3-4 times the rate of white mothers in childbirth—a devastating reality that demands change. Research shows that doulas make a difference, improving maternal outcomes by providing advocacy, emotional support, and informed guidance throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.In this episode, I sit down with Jet'aime McKinney, a dedicated Atlanta-based doula, to discuss how doulas empower Black mothers, challenge medical bias, and ensure moms are heard and supported in their birthing journeys.This conversation is a must-listen for a mom looking to learn more about Doulas, or anyone who cares about birth justice, maternal health, and saving lives.
