Special Broadcast – Soulful Sunrise Presents Black Maternal Care: The Conversation Continues

 Black Maternal Care: The Conversation Continues

At Soulful Sunrise on WURD Radio, the end of Black Maternal Health Week is not a period—it’s a comma. The conversation continues, and a call to action for Black maternal health is ongoing.  From 6 to 7 AM each morning, Soulful Sunrise will spotlight powerful voices, actionable resources, and insights to deepen awareness and advocacy for Black maternal health. This week-long series will feature thought leaders, medical professionals, doulas, midwives, and community advocates who are making bold strides for maternal wellness and birth equity.

We are proud to welcome Marianne Fray, President & CEO of the Maternity Care Coalition, to kick off this vital conversation on Monday, April 21.

Also joining us:

• Kimberly Seals Allers – Award-winning journalist, founder of @theirthapp, and host of the Birthright podcast (Tuesday)
• An OB/GYN, Midwife, and Doula from the Maternity Care Coalition
• A representative from the Oshun Family Center, addressing mental and emotional care
• Diana Hilaire, founder of When She Comes Home, shares her personal and professional passion for advocacy (Friday)

Together, we’ll explore:

• Advocacy beyond awareness
• Self-empowerment and informed choices
• Resources and care networks for Black mothers
