In the third installment of Robin Douthit's "Childbirth Luminaries" series, we delve into the world of maternal and infant health advocacy with award-winning journalist, five-time author, and international speaker, Kimberly Seals Allers. Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation as we explore the Irth App, a groundbreaking app designed as a "Yelp-like" platform, specifically tailored to Black and Brown parents, where important reviews within the full perinatal spectrum are used to combat bias and racism within maternity and infant care, creating a more inclusive and just environment for all. Kimberly is a leading voice in the discourse surrounding the racial and socio-cultural complexities of birth, breastfeeding, and motherhood. She is also the visionary behind "Birthright," a podcast that centers on joy and healing in Black birth. This is an episode you won't want to miss, as we shine a light on one of the luminaries making a significant impact in the world of maternal and infant health.
