We have a maternal health crisis: The U.S. has the highest maternal death rate of the entire industrialized world, which is 4 times higher for black women than for white women. It must end.
Guest host Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs sits down with educator, movement leader, changemaker, amplifier, and dadvocate Charles Johnson IV, who is the Founder and President of 4Kira4Moms, to discuss his nonprofit organization’s relentless dedication to ending our country’s horrific maternal mortality crisis. Charles shares how the devastating and needless loss of his beloved wife from medical negligence after a routine C-section led him to join the maternal health revolution, what needs to change, and why he’s hopeful that together, we can fix this issue now. Get the scoop on how Bobbie For Change partners with 4Kira4Moms, what else our social impact and policy arm has been working on, and who in Congress follows Charles on Insta!
