In this episode I'm honored to be joined by Reketta P. to bring awareness to the health disparities and the devastating statistics that BIPOC birthing persons are experiencing. Reketta is a mom of 3 and Licensed Professional Counselor located in the state of Alaska. She owns Arise Counseling, LLC where she specializes in perinatal mental health and relationship therapy. Reketta is also a BIPOC Health Equity Consultant. She provides workshops and affinity groups to small and medium-sized organizations looking to reduce the health disparity rates in the BIPOC communities by increasing self-awareness and intentional action.
Key Points From This Episode:
-Perinatal mental health
-Insight to statistics of BIPOC birthing persons are 3-4 times more likely to die from pregnancy and childbirth related complications than white women
-Unconscious and implicit bias in health care
-Anti-racism work and the difference between anti-racism vs being not racist
