Michelle and two student filmmakers, Taylour Marks and Candace Williamson, discuss their debut documentary film, a deeply flawed system, the disparities facing black mothers, and perinatal loss. Black women are twice as likely to experience a miscarriage than other races. African American infants are 3.8 times as likely to die from complications related to low birth weight, have 2.3 times the infant mortality rate, and in 2017 had over twice the sudden infant death syndrome mortality rate as non-Hispanic whites.Their film, In Between US  is an intimate portrait of black motherhood, a deeply flawed system, and the complicated beauty of life. The story was born from the alarming statistic that black women are three to four times more likely to experience pregnancy-related mortality than white women in America. If it’s not about money, education, or pre-existing conditions, then why are black mothers and their babies still dying at higher rates?"There is so much power in your voice, and you have the right to speak up. You have the right to share your story. And when you do, it really brings people together."—Candace Williamson"I think that it is really important that we start prioritizing mothers. The first steps are to validate the feelings and the stories of these mothers by showing them that they aren't alone. There are so many other mothers that are going through the exact same thing. ...And we should trust Black women and what they have to say and their feelings and their pain. So I think it is a three-step process of listen, share, and trust and then make change off of what you have represented."—Taylour Marks {This episode originally aired in June 2020 as episode 040 on The Birth Ease Podcast.} About Candace Williamson &amp; Taylour Marks:Candace Williamson is a Broadcast Journalism Student at the University of South Florida.
