In the U.S., maternal and infant outcomes for Black birthing people are dramatically worse than for White birthing people. Delivering While Black, a short documentary set in Grand Rapids, MI, dives into the harsh reality of Birth Justice and the systemic racism that leads to the loss of Black lives. The title references the concept of "driving while Black," a term that highlights racial profiling that puts Black lives at risk. Decades of research show similar trends in healthcare, where Black birthing people face the very real fear of being dismissed or ignored, often with deadly consequences. Thank you for taking the time to listen to the powerful stories and insights from local experts. This documentary aims to raise awareness, spark change, and offer support for those Delivering While Black.
