What's all this then?

Welcome to Brown Mama Brown me...

I'm so excited to share this podcast with you!

For Black, Asians and Minority Ethnic (BAME) women and babies in the UK, pregnancy; birth and the postnatal period carries the most risk of poor outcomes, poor satisfaction rates and worst of all, death. The MBRRACE report 2019 which looks into causes for maternal death, has found that mothers from BAME backgrounds are up to 5x more likely to die during what is meant to be such a special time in their lives and journeys. Whilst for many this may have been a completely positive time, an alarming number of black and brown women report a lack of cultural awareness and sensitivity resulting in experiences of racism, discrimination and stereotyping.

I'm passionate about making sure ALL women, whether white; black; brown or even blue, receive the high quality care that makes them feel listened and respected. So join me as we explore this topic....
