  • MYTH: Black birth is safest in the hospital
    Aug 20 2022

    Join Ashlee and Shannan as they discuss the groundbreaking documentary Aftershock(on Hulu)

    (TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion about the maternal health crisis. Pregnant, nursing and mental unstable people may want to avoid or take caution.)

    Aftershock is a documentary that examines the journey of two black fathers who become activists after surviving the loss of their partners during childbirth. Through the film, we witness these two families become ardent activists in the maternal health space, seeking justice through legislation, medical accountability, community, and the power of art. Their work introduces us to a myriad of people including a growing brotherhood of surviving Black fathers, along with the work of midwives and physicians on the ground fighting for institutional reform. Through their collective journeys, we find ourselves on the front lines of the growing birth justice movement that is demanding systemic change within our medical system and government. From:(https://www.aftershockdocumentary.com/home#about) Aftershock is available to stream on HULU
