Miriam Zoila Pérez: How racism harms pregnant women -- and what can help (2017x29)

Uitzenddatum: Feb 13, 2017

Racism is making people sick -- especially black women and babies, says Miriam Zoila Pérez. The doula turned journalist explores the relationship between race, class and illness and tells us about a radically compassionate prenatal care program that can buffer pregnant women from the stress that people of color face every day.
