AfroMundo Social Justice Series: Sister Doula

2023-08-16

|

07:00 PM

National Hispanic Cultural Center

Join AfroMundo at NHCC’s Wells Fargo Theater for a FREE screening of Sister Doula, a film about the Black maternal health and infant mortality crisis. Panel Discussion to immediately follow screening.

“Black babies die at 5 times the rate of white babies. SISTER DOULA is the story of Hakima Payne, a nurse in Kansas City who tackles this crisis head-on, fighting to save Black babies by offering alternatives to the US healthcare system that surveils, criminalizes, and harms Black families. Mama Hakima is equal parts unapologetic truth-teller and wise-compassionate mentor. This is the story of the birth doulas she has mentored, who advocate for Black birthing people and work toward a future where all people will have equal access to thrive in pregnancy, birth, and beyond.”
