Description

Black mothers carry the sacred work of bringing life into the world, yet they face disproportionate danger in pregnancy and childbirth. In this episode with Cessilye Smith of Abide Women's Health Services, we confront the Black maternal health crisis through a theological lens, naming how racism and medical neglect violate the dignity of those made in God's image. We explore what scripture, justice, and faith demand of us—and how communities can take faithful action to ensure Black mothers and babies can flourish.
