New Program, Love Delivered Combats the Black Maternal Health Crisis
Episode 202, Apr 14, 2021, 09:05 PM
The black maternal health crisis in the United States is at an all-time high. Black birthing people are 3 to 4 times more likely to die from childbirth than other demographics – with 60% of these deaths being preventable. That’s why beauty pioneer Lisa Price and her company Carol’s Daughter are on a mission to build awareness around the crisis with focus on the importance of advocates at the times when black birthing people and babies are most vulnerable – before, during and after birth. It’s called Love Delivered -- a new program with partner the Mama Glow Foundation and its founder, the world-renowned doula, Latham Thomas.
Love Delivered will bring increased awareness to the black maternal health crisis and shine a light on the many ways black birthing people can be empowered, from access to online resources and maternity experts to community-building events, scholarship opportunities and information on doula trainings.
