"Let us not forget that the end of constitutionall

"Let us not forget that the end of constitutionally-protected abortion rights is just the latest blow to women's health and rights in the United States, which already has the highest maternal-mortality rates amongst rich nations. And that number is not only worsening but also disproportionately killing Black women, who are three to four times more likely to die giving birth in America than their white counterparts, regardless of education or income."

"...If it is true that the full #humanity of #wome

"...If it is true that the full #humanity of #women is not our culture, then we can and must make it our culture." -- Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie; We Should All Be #Feminists

It might bit weird to hear this but it still is a sad reality to so many communities around the world. Treat women like a human being. Believe their pain. Respect them like an equal. Season 4 of #SpillingChai is just a preview of the bigger picture showing us the challenges women are going through everyday and the efforts to solve these challenges. #womenempowerment #womensupportingwomen #womenshealth

One of the key themes in @anushayhossain 's book is the power of women telling their stories. During her research, Anushay became obsessed with the stories women don't tell and what we keep to ourselves. One of the most powerful stories she came across in her work is that of Tomeka Isaac who started the nonprofit organization, Jace's Journey after the loss of son. Isaac's story embodies the message that when women share our narratives, everything changes. How we view an issue changes. The season finale of Spilling Chai on the Pain Gap is a tribute to women who have the courage to share their experiences with the world to remind all of us that the life of every woman and birthing person's life counts.

This is the season finale... NOW LIVE!

THE POWER OF TELLING OUR STORIES with Tomeka Isaac @msjamesnowisaac

Meet our amazing Season Finale guest, TOMEKA ISAAC (@msjamesnowisaac

Tomeka Isaac is a leading voice for reproductive empowerment, working to eliminate racial disparities in pregnancy care, and advocating for health equity for all. Like most in this space, a life-altering past experience called her to this work. Her story has been featured in Parents.com and many other media outlets.

Tomeka is an Executive Director, speaker, educator, and lobbyist. Her partner organizations include March of Dimes, MomCongress, MoMMa’s Voices, YWCA, Preeclampsia Foundation, MAEVE.

In 2017, Tomeka and her husband Brandon were thrilled to be welcoming their first child Jace Alexander into the world upon learning of Tomeka’s pregnancy.

But just one month before Jace was due, on May 14, 2018, the couple was faced with tragic news that Jace had no fetal heartbeat. While processing that shock, Tomeka was also told she had H.E.L.L.P Syndrome (Hemolysis Elevated Liver Enzymes Low Platelet) and that she was dying due to a hematoma on Tomeka’s liver the size of a softball and almost a liter of blood in her abdomen.

Jace died in utero and Tomeka was rushed to surgery to save her life. It would take seven surgeries for her to leave the hospital 45 days later.

It was later uncovered after Jace’s death and Tomeka’s diagnosis that they both could have been easily prevented, not by an expensive medical procedure, but by a simple urine test.

Losing Jace caused Tomeka and Brandon to re-examine the facts of their medical diagnoses to see what happened, what needed to change, and what could be done to prevent this from happening to anyone else ever again.

Tomeka’s now unbridled passion and purpose to spread awareness and to be a catalyst for change as it relates to racial and implicit biases in healthcare prompted Tomeka and her husband to start Jace’s Journey in 2019, a nonprofit organization working towards eliminating the disparities in maternal and infant health through education, advocacy and community engagement, where Tomeka serves as Executive Director.

One of the biggest messages in Anushay's book, The

One of the biggest messages in Anushay's book, The Pain Gap is that maternal health is that America's maternal health crisis is solvable. We already have the tools and expertise to ensure no woman dies giving life.

Layo George, the creator of the digital community, Wolomi, is a nurse and entrepreneur who has developed a tech intervention to change the dangerous pregnancy and birth experience in America.

@anushayhossain describes herself as being “obs

@anushayhossain describes herself as being “obsessed” with motherhood in America, largely because of its constant cultural contradictions. The image of motherhood in America is so white, yet its Black & Brown women who are more likely to die giving birth in the US. We claim to worship mothers but remain the only industrialized nation without paid maternity leave.

And what about the women who don’t want to be mothers? Is it possible to do something more meaningful than mothering? The latter is the question at the heart of Theologian Erin S. Lane‘s book, Someone Other than a Mother.

In this episode, Lane spills the tea on overturning dominant narratives about motherhood and inspiring women to write their own stories.
