Birth Without Bias: How the Irth App Is Challenging and Changing Birth Experiences

In the third installment of Robin Douthit's "Childbirth Luminaries" series, we delve into the world of maternal and infant health advocacy with award-winning journalist, five-time author, and international speaker, Kimberly Seals Allers. Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking conversation as we explore the Irth App, a groundbreaking app designed as a "Yelp-like" platform, specifically tailored to Black and Brown parents, where important reviews within the full perinatal spectrum are used to combat bias and racism within maternity and infant care, creating a more inclusive and just environment for all. Kimberly is a leading voice in the discourse surrounding the racial and socio-cultural complexities of birth, breastfeeding, and motherhood. She is also the visionary behind "Birthright," a podcast that centers on joy and healing in Black birth. This is an episode you won't want to miss, as we shine a light on one of the luminaries making a significant impact in the world of maternal and infant health.
