Rooted in Respect: Safer Births, Stronger Communities

This is a powerful conversation centering the voices and lived experiences of Black birthing people. Through a dynamic dialogue, our panelists will explore how research, innovation, and culturally grounded care transform outcomes and build safer, more respectful birthing experiences.

Together, we’ll uncover what’s working, what’s needed, and how honoring culture and community wisdom is key to saving lives. Whether you’re a parent, support person, advocate, or care about Black maternal health, this is where healing, action, and connection begin.
