The Power of Midwifery With Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs + MidWife Debbie Allen

Milk Drunk by Bobbie

Do you really know the history of obstetrics in the U.S. and what the patriarchy did to develop it? Bestselling author, advocate, educator, sociologist, speaker, and scholar Anna Malaika Tubbs returns with Tribe Midwifery founder Debbie Allen to expose the devastating origins of American obstetrics, which still endanger and marginalize women of color today, and call for a cultural and systemic shift in humanizing maternity care. Anna and Tabria share how they chose to give birth at home with midwives in order to feel safe, heard, informed, supported and respected, and Debbie clears up common misconceptions about what midwifery care really provides, including supporting families every step of the way. Anna reveals the topic of her upcoming book (!) and unpacks how many systems in our country were designed to marginalize and disempower the BIPOC community, women, and families - and how to do something about it.
