Annnnnd we're back with another fresh episode for you! This week, we got serious and discussed the rising maternity mortality rate in the U.S. — particularly for Black women who are three to four times more likely to die in childbirth or shortly afterwards. We mentioned Serena Williams' complications post-childbirth as well as some of the organizations that are shedding more light on this public health issue, like the Black Mamas Matter Alliance.
We're also All A Twitter about the new Aziz Ansari sexual misconduct allegations, and we're giving a special Airhorn Salute to Franchesca Ramsey and her new book, available for pre-order now!
