In this episode of The Good Homegirl, we dive into a critical and urgent conversation about Black maternal mortality rates and how the current administration's policies impact Black birthing people. The statistics are staggering—Black women are three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women in the U.S. But why is this still happening in 2025?
We explore the systemic factors behind these disparities, from implicit bias in healthcare to limited access to quality maternal care. We also break down what policies the current administration has put in place (or failed to implement) and how they affect Black maternal health. Are we seeing real progress, or are these just empty promises?
💡 Key Topics Covered:🔹 The history of Black maternal mortality in the U.S.🔹 How racism in healthcare puts Black birthing people at risk🔹 The role of Medicaid, reproductive rights, and healthcare policies🔹 Community-driven solutions and how we can advocate for change
This is an episode you don’t want to miss—because Black mothers deserve better.
