In this episode, I had the amazing opportunity to interview Ms. Jennie Joseph about her journey into midwifery, in addition to her own personal experiences with endometriosis, giving birth as a midwife, and postpartum depression. We also discuss the impacts of the healthcare system in the U.S. on black birthing families.
