Black women in the UK are still four times more likely to die during childbirth, but why?
In this powerful episode, Wunmi sits down with Mama Dínya, a passionate Black midwife, to uncover the truths behind racial bias, cultural misunderstandings, and systemic failures in maternity care.
With raw honesty and lived experience, Mama Dínya shares the stories that don’t make headlines, from the emotional toll of being a midwife in a broken system to the everyday battles Black mothers face just to be heard.
This isn’t just a conversation about healthcare. It’s a call to awareness, to action, and to audacity, for every Black woman navigating pregnancy and for the people who care for them.
