A midwife crosses 'maternity deserts' to make a difference for Black moms and babies

In Alabama, a Black midwife is working to bridge this gap, providing essential care to mothers and babies in underserved areas, aiming to improve outcomes for Black families facing higher maternal mortality rates.
