On this episode of Culture Currency, Mahagony and Aisha confront the reality of Black maternal mortality. They break down why Black women are 3x more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes, and it isn't just about income or education.
They get into medical bias, stories of not being heard in the delivery room, and what self-advocacy actually looks like when your life depends on it. This isn't a stats episode. It's about survival, legacy, and building systems that let Black mothers live to tell their own birth stories. They also talk through practical steps: finding your people, documenting everything, and refusing to be a footnote in someone else's negligence.
