This film explores the role of racism and inequities within our healthcare system that endanger Black women during this particularly critical moment in our lives. The film also tells the stories and highlights the voices of the people and the organizations that are fighting for systemic change to ensure the best birthing practices for all women at hospitals across the country. 

Listen as they discuss the power of celebrating the joy in the Black birthing experience on the journey to justice, and much more.

Myriha is joined in conversation by writer, activist, feminist and author, Rebecca Walker. Listen as they discuss Rebecca’s latest book, WOMEN TALK MONEY: Breaking the Taboo, a beautiful and incredibly insightful collection of 29 essays by women writers, activists and more, each offering a very transparent look into their personal relationship with money, and its inevitable impact on other aspects of their lives and identity as a woman.

Rebecca also dives into her own belief systems around money and how they evolved over the years growing up as the daughter of novelist, poet and activist Alice Walker. Ultimately, through WOMEN TALK MONEY, Rebecca is offering women a safe and nonjudgmental calling to embrace their own money story, the good and the bad, and use it to build an abundant and financially strong future.
