About the event
Delivering While Black is a short documentary focused on Birth Justice in Grand Rapids, MI. The title Delivering While Black is a nod to the concept of driving while Black. For those unfamiliar with this concept, driving while Black refers to the type of racial profiling that can cost Black motorists their lives.
The US healthcare system is need of some meaningful reform
when it comes to maternal care in general but especially when it
comes to Black maternal health equity. Black Mothers, Black
Birthing People, and Black Infants have the highest mortality rates
across all racial groups.
