Audio Only - S1 E18: She Been Delivering: Black Women, Birth, and Power

This week on the Gurl, Whet?! Podcast, we’re getting all the way into it. We’re talking Black birth, Black bodies, and Black survival—with honesty, humor, and zero sugarcoating. Joined by Grand Doula Basmah Karriem and doula Cheyenne Varner, this episode unpacks what Black families really need to know about pregnancy, birth, and community care in 2026. ☕ What’s the Tea, Sis? — The State of Black Birth in 2026 We dig into the truths about Black maternal health that folks aren’t ready to face—but must. We also spill the tea on the rise of “holistic birth” and how Black families can embrace it without getting caught in overpriced wellness culture. 💞 Love, Baby & Other Grownfolx Business — Our Bodies, Our Births: Power, Autonomy & Survival We talk about how pregnancy changes the way Black women are treated, the protection required just to exist, and how partners can show up in ways that actually help. Plus, the guests drop one hilarious-but-too-real piece of advice for first-time Black parents. 🖤 The Group Chat Got Deep — Ancestral Wisdom, Healing & Community Care From reclaiming ancestral birthing traditions to navigating medical systems that often fail us, this segment centers community, healing, and the moments that remind us why the fight for Black maternal health matters so deeply. 🎧 This episode is for: Expecting and future Black parents Birth workers & caregivers Partners trying to do better Anyone invested in Black life, health, and liberation Timestamps: 00:00 Trigger Warning 03:33 Intro 03:50 What’s the Tea, Sis?/The State of Black Birth in 2026 18:00 Love, Baby & Other Grownfolx Business/Our Bodies, Our Births: Power, Autonomy & Survival 33:39 The Group Chat Got Deep/Ancestral Wisdom, Healing & Community Care 47:20 Dassit! 48:53 Outro ✨ Links & Resources Mentioned: To connect with: Basmah Karriem https://ubbcconnect.com/basmah-karriem/   / ubbc_inc   Cheyenne Varner, Doula, Designer, Photographer, and Writer https://iamcheyennevarner.com/   / cheyvarner   For more information on Black maternal health: https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare... https://www.npr.org/2024/08/13/nx-s1-... https://www.npr.org/2023/06/13/118197... 🧏🏽Listen live every Saturday at 3:00PM EST on K101.2 Pop Richmond Internet Radio: https://farmercompanymedia.com/k1012pop 📱 Follow Us: Instagram - @GurlWhetPodcast 📬 Want to be featured?
