In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with guest host Chip Clarke to dive deep into the personal experience that inspired the release of my new book Waking Up to Grace. We explore my journey through a life-threatening diagnosis of placenta accreta and the difficult reality of a cesarean hysterectomy, a journey that left me forever changed.But it’s more than just my story—it’s about the countless mothers and babies impacted by maternal and infant mortality, particularly in Black communities. We discuss how this book has become a beacon of hope, and why it’s so important to raise awareness and funds through Waking Up to Grace. All proceeds from the book go toward supporting nonprofits like The Luke Clinic, who are on the frontlines, providing free prenatal and postpartum care to mothers who need it most.Tune in to hear more about the upcoming Waking Up to Change event and how we're uniting to combat these devastating statistics. It’s a conversation filled with vulnerability, strength, and the power of shared stories.
