Black maternal health is a crisis — Black women face far higher maternal mortality and maternal mental-health risks. In this episode Dr. Wylin Wilson (author of Womanist Bioethics: Social Justice, Spirituality, and Black Women's Health) joins Bruce Anthony to trace the history of segregated hospitals, unpack the Momnibus and Pregnant Workers Fairness acts, and explain how the Black church, doulas, midwives, and cross-sector collaboration can drive real birth equity. We discuss postpartum depression in Black mothers, why suffering has been normalized, the policy wins we need (Medicaid reimbursement for doulas, workplace accommodations), and practical ways faith communities can become sanctuaries and first responders for maternal care. Tune in to learn concrete actions you can take in your state, how to partner with grassroots groups like Black Mamas Matter Alliance, and why centering the most vulnerable advances justice for everyone. #blackmaternalhealth #maternalmentalhealth #healthequity #womanistbioethics #Momnibusact #DrWylinWilson #unsolicitedperspectives
