For many women, the news "you're pregnant" is joyful news. But for many African American women, that news could literally mean death. We talk about why African American women are three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy related causes than white women, regardless of education or socioeconomic status. Our guests include Khadijah Jordan, M.D., OB/GYN; Mekbib Gemeda, VP, Diversity and Inclusion, EVMS and Kimberly Adams Tufts, Assoc. Professor of Nursing/Asst. Dean of Interprofessional Education, ODU. Plus, Lisa Godley talks to cast members from the ODU play that examines a woman's journey from prison to re-entry titled: "Getting Out."
