Patient: “You’re pretty for a Black girl.”
Nurse: “That’s not a compliment. It assumes Black women aren’t usually pretty.”
Patient: “I didn’t mean it like that.”
Nurse: “I understand. Let’s keep our comments respectful and focus on your care.”

Hey!!

Is anyone on here a Black birth worker or know one?

For my research, I am seeking to interview as many Black midwives (and other Blk birth workers, but midwifery is the central focus) as possible and get connected to birthing centers employing Black birth workers, esp. in the US South.

If you are/someone you know is interested, pls DM me! Thanks for reading!

*pls boost!!*
