Bonus Episode – Disparities in Maternal Health

The journey into motherhood comes with its own unique risks and outcomes that are determined by one’s country of birth, socioeconomic status, education, and even race. In this bonus episode of Trending Health, Vynamic’s Diversity & Inclusion Council presents excerpts from a recent panel on the Disparities in Maternal Health in honor of International Women’s Day. The panel discussion was led by Vynamic Director Tilewa Otunba Nwaeze and featured Kassandra Margetis, LCSW-R, former Manager of Mental Health & Strategic Partnerships at the NYC Bureau of Maternal, Infant & Reproductive Health and Kendra Mitchell, an MFA candidate in the Peter Stark Producing Program at USC and currently working as Associate Producer on Maternity, an upcoming short film highlighting the black maternal mortality crisis.
