Motherhood and Healthcare

In the last episode, we unearthed another perspective of motherhood as it relates to infertility.  Since there is so much to discuss about this topic, we wanted to share more.  In this episode, we begin to delve into Michelle Browder's sculpture , "The Mothers of Gynecology," that was unveiled during the month of May in Montgomery, Alabama.  This sculpture highlights three emerging adults (Anarcha, Lucy, and Betsey https://www.anarchalucybetsey.org/), who were African Slaves in the 1800s and had their human rights stripped away from them to be grossly experimented on in the name of "Science" by Dr. James Marion Sims.  Listen to this rivoting conversation about how the unspoken testimonies of 3 identified "Divine Appointed Image Bearers" help to reframe the truth about historical patterns regarding the healthcare of Black Indigenous women of Color.  Kathy Bruce, a familiar guest of this podcast and host of "Kitchen Table Conversations with Kathy", uses her gift of navigating through the systemic weeds of racism to bring light and life to this story and other stories, whose silent testimonies birthed out of brutality, bless us today.
