Beyond Awareness: Frances and Traci Doula Demand Real Solutions for Black Maternal Health

Black Maternal Health: Beyond Awareness and Into Action with Frances In this episode, I sat down with Frances to talk about the realities of Black maternal health, and why awareness without action isn’t enough. We got real about racism, colorism, and how healthcare systems continue to fail Black families. Frances shared her lived experience growing up in foster care, working inside healthcare, and navigating birth work as a neurodivergent Black woman. She didn’t hold back, and neither did I. We covered: Why access to Black providers isn’t always possible How privilege shows up in birth work and advocacy The problem with performative activism What hospitals, doulas, nurses, and providers need to do differently Why discomfort is part of real change This conversation is a call to action. If we aren’t willing to be bold, uncomfortable, and accountable, we don’t belong in this work.
