Healing Through Advocacy

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Dana Sherrod, a dedicated advocate for Black maternal health. Dana shares her personal journey, including a traumatic labor and delivery experience that transformed her into a passionate voice for change. From her childhood dreams of becoming a cab driver or a nurse to her current work as a fearless leader in the maternal health space, Dana’s story is one of resilience, purpose, and advocacy.

 

Tune in to hear about Dana’s efforts to raise awareness of the racial disparities in maternal health and her work to create systemic change. She also opens up about her personal passions, including her love for singing and playing the guitar, which bring her joy and balance amidst her impactful work.

 

We discuss:

• The alarming racial disparities in maternal health and what needs to change.
• How Dana’s personal experience shaped her career in advocacy.
• The importance of self-care and finding joy in everyday life.
• Practical ways to support Black maternal health initiatives.
