What happens when the people you trust with your care don't listen?
In this special episode of Glow Your Influence, Corey sits down with Mariah Peoples, Larissa Keys, and community midwife Selena Jackson for a deeply personal conversation about Black maternal health, informed consent, medical advocacy, birth trauma, grief, and the unequal experiences women can face inside the healthcare system.
Mariah shares the pressure she felt to prepare for how she would be perceived before she ever walked into a prenatal appointment. Larissa shares the devastating experience that began when she went to the hospital for kidney stones while pregnant and ultimately left without her son. Selena brings the perspective of a community midwife who has witnessed many of the same patterns repeat across families.
Together, they examine what it means to be heard, what informed consent should actually look like, why having an advocate can matter, and how pain can become a catalyst for change.
This is a conversation about care, trust, accountability, healing, and why every woman deserves to be treated as a person, not a statistic.
