Today we  have an important episode  with Jennie Joseph and Mars Lord. Its the first time I have had two women in the guest chair. We discuss female maternal health and Black and Brown Community.  We are in crisis. In our conversation we talk about what is going on and what is needed.   So grab your cup of tea, or drink of choice  and you might want to take a walk as you listen to these two amazing and inspiring women.  JENNIE JOSEPH  is one of the most well-known and respected midwives and advocates worldwide for family-centered healthcare. She is widely accepted as a hero in birthing circles because of the positive outcomes she has seen through her simple yet profoundly successful model of prenatal care known as The JJ Way®. Joseph is a British-trained midwife who moved to the United States in 1989 and has worked as an independent midwife in Florida since then. The JJ Way® is a midwifery model of care that simplifies prenatal care, removing barriers to care in a medical system which is known for having many hoops to jump through.   MARS LORD: Award winning doula and birth activist Mars Lord has been a birth keeper for well over a decade.  She has had the privilege of working with hundreds of families. A birth activist, with a desire to see the ‘colouring in of the landscape of birth’ and finding out the reasons for the maternal and neonatal morbidity rates amongst the BAME community, Mars created Abuela Doulas a doula preparation course primarily, but not exclusively, for women of colour. Her desire for reproductive justice led to the creation of the ‘Reproductive Justice Retreat’. Mars was recently recognised in the Mayor of London's Hidden Credits campaign and continues to speak out for cultural safety and reproductive justice.    Connect with Mars and Jennie below  DONATE to Jennie's work HERE  Find out more about Mars work HERE   She's Got Drive Journals: BUY IN HERE AMAZON HERE Including 30 Days of Gratitude -Making Every Day Count    HOW TO SUPPORT THE PODCAST  If you love She's Got Drive  please REVIEW it here on iTunes: http://shirleymcalpine.com/itunes   This podcast streams free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.  Please Subscribe and Review .

For Black Mothers and Mothers of Black and Brown babies/children. This week as we acknowledge Black Women's Health week I am reposting Jennie Joseph.  Get your cup of tea , or go for a walk and listen to this weeks episode of She's Got Drive.  Jennie Joseph,  CEO of Commonsense Childbirth based in Florida, has worked tirelessly through her The JJ Way™ method  to educate, empowerment and support women to have healthy pregnancies and babies.   America has the highest maternal mortality rate of any industrialized country in the world. More than two women die every day in the USA from pregnancy-related causes, and 3 to 4 times as many Black women as White are at-risk or die during pregnancy. We have read and heard of Serena Williams experience and the challenge that Beyonce has - the issues for Black women cross socio economic  boundaries - it is real and we all need to know what is happening. Raising awareness about this preventable issue gives a platform to Black women to share their experiences, and educates and empowers communities to push for change. Jennie is  a national speaker, motivator, and author. She has  been featured in documentaries  about this important issue, has  hosted her own radio talk show and is a regular guest on other shows. I... In this episode  Hear her  thoughts on what success means to her and her personal journey. and how her success was more organic , verses  being planned,  through the challenge of transitioning as a midwife from the UK to the US. Jennie  shares how she could not ignore the calling to work on behalf of underserved women and babies and the terrible maternal health outcomes in the US, that are often unknown and the impact on black women and families. How her personal painful experience lead her to start her journey as an entrepreneur and lessons learned.  For more on Jennie Joseph and her work go to https://www.commonsensechildbirth.org or follow Jennie on Instagram @iamjenniejoseph To ENTER MY  GRATITUDE JOURNAL GIVEAWAY  click here She's Got Drive Journals: buy it on Amazon here Including 30 Days of Gratitude -Making Every Day Count    I hope you continue to enjoy our conversation -  Listen and let me know your favorite moment of our conversation and send it to me @@shirleymcalpine_❤️   If you loved the show please REVIEW it here on iTunes: http://shirleymcalpine.com/itunes SHE'S GOT DRIVE is produced by Cassandra Voltolina and music by awesome female band Blonde.

5th May is the International Day of the Midwife, shining a light on the important work that midwives of worldwide to deliver the worlds children. So I thought I would repost my interview with one of the most inspiring midwives in the US and that is no exaggeration.  Jennie Joseph,  CEO of Commonsense Childbirth based in Florida, has worked tirelessly through her The JJ Way™ method  to educate, empowerment and support women to have healthy pregnancies and babies.   America has the highest maternal mortality rate of any industrialized country in the world. More than two women die every day in the USA from pregnancy-related causes, and 3 to 4 times as many Black women as White are at-risk or die during pregnancy. We have read and heard of Serena Williams experience and the challenge that Beyonce has - the issues for Black women cross socio economic  boundaries - it is real and we all need to know what is happening. Raising awareness about this preventable issue gives a platform to Black women to share their experiences, and educates and empowers communities to push for change. Jennie is  a national speaker, motivator, and author. She has  been featured in documentaries  about this important issue, has  hosted her own radio talk show and is a regular guest on other shows. I... In this episode  Hear her  thoughts on what success means to her and her personal journey. and how her success was more organic , verses  being planned,  through the challenge of transitioning as a midwife from the UK to the US. Jennie  shares how she could not ignore the calling to work on behalf of underserved women and babies and the terrible maternal health outcomes in the US, that are often unknown and the impact on black women and families. How her personal painful experience lead her to start her journey as an entrepreneur and lessons learned.  For more on Jennie Joseph and her work go to https://www.commonsensechildbirth.org or follow Jennie on Instagram @iamjenniejoseph   I hope you continue to enjoy our conversation -  Listen and let me know your favorite moment of our conversation and send it to me @@shirleymcalpine_❤️   If you loved the show please REVIEW it here on iTunes: http://shirleymcalpine.com/itunes SHE'S GOT DRIVE is produced by Cassandra Voltolina and music by awesome female band Blonde.
