Fact: In the United States, Black women die from pregnancy-related complications three to four times the rate of white women. This is true no matter how much money they make, how much education they have, or where they live. We should all be furious that Black women are dying from preventable pregnancy-related causes… and WE ARE. We’re joined by Latham Thomas, a Celebrity Doula and Maternal Wellness Expert, named one of Oprah Winfrey’s Super Soul 100. Latham founded Mama Glow, a global women’s health and education brand serving women along the childbearing continuum. She is leading a revolution in radical self-care, guiding women everywhere to “mother themselves first,” and we’re grateful for her voice to help shed some light on these important topics on our show today! Latham's newest book, Own Your Glow: A Soulful Guide to Luminious Living and Crowning the Queen was JUST released on paperback from Hay House on June 16th.
