Hey girl hey, this week we are talking about pregnancy again, but this time from the perspective of a midwife! Tune in to this episode to discover the ways in which midwives help women throughout their lives, the services that Wajamama Wellness Clinic provides the community of Zanzibar, and the differences between a doula and a midwife.
In this show I will go into the science behind maternal mortality rates, the impact of racial disparities within maternal health, and what we can do to improve these rates and disparities in the future. Later, I will speak to Nafisa Jiddawi, certified nurse midwife, advanced practice nurse, and founder and CEO of Wajamama Wellness Center. -Xo Raw Girl
