Hey Village, the doctor will see us now. In this episode, I am chatting with Dr. Green to discuss the importance of sharing reproductive health information within our families and our communities. Dr. Green emphasizes the need for comprehensive sex education and the importance of understanding one's own body and how to address the anxiety about going to the gynecologist ("You're going to put what where?"). She also gives recommendations for preparing for these visits. The conversation also touches on the disparities in black maternal health and the need for women to feel safe and empowered in their healthcare decisions.
Dr. Akiba Green is a Board-Certified Osteopathic Obstetrician/Gynecologist who has over 20 years experience with women's health issues. Dr. Green provides care for women of all ages, before, during and after their pregnancies. She is guided by the values of compassion and respect, while delivering continuity of care to patients—from initial assessment to operational procedures.
