In this episode, I get to join my amazing guest THE Aminata Conteh-Biger live in Sydney, Australia! Sydney is now home to Aminata who is originally from Sierra Leone. Aminata was a refugee from Sierra Leone's brutal civil war and her touching story can be found her book, Rising Heart.

In this episode, we chat about maternal mortality in our beloved country Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone has among the highest maternal mortality ratios in the world and sadly our rural women shoulder the burden more than their urban counterparts. Together Aminata and I are on a mission to reduce and end maternal mortality in rural Sierra Leone.
