Episode Video Link:
Black women are confronting serious threats to their health, reproductive freedom, employment, and economic security.
In this episode of Need to Know, Dr. Nsenga Burton examines the case of Adriana Smith and what it reveals about Black maternal mortality, bodily autonomy, government intervention, healthcare costs, and the burdens placed on Black families.
Dr. Burton also addresses unemployment among Black women, political rollbacks, meaningful self-care, strategic voting, economic boycotts, and the importance of supporting Black-owned and women-owned businesses.
This is a direct call for Black families and communities to establish their own priorities, protect their resources, and pay attention to the stories mainstream media leaves behind.
