Life Coach for pregnant Black women who want to simplify their pregnancy, birth and beyond.
Award-winning Doula, birth worker, educator and activist Mars Lord and in this episode we dive into why "Black & Asian people are 4 to 5 times more likely to die in childbirth".
Mars unapologetically invites us to take a deep look at our systems and understand what is causing this beyond concerning stack of systemic problems.
Our Cultural wounds are deep; hopefully this will shine light on where we need to spend our time, working on and becoming stewards of these stories.
