“Culturally reverent care matters,” says Leseliey Welch, an Aspen Institute Ascend Fellow who has pioneered the effort to provide culturally congruent birth care to Black, Indigenous, and people of color through her non-profit initiatives, Birth Detriot and Birth Center Equity.
Welch believes that establishing more birth centers with racial justice values can improve the experiences of people of all races.
To expand on their inspiring vision and the barriers they overcame like many other leaders of color on the same path, Welch sits down with the Managing Director of Ascend at the Aspen Institute Marjorie Sims for the inaugural episode of Aspen Ignites Season 2.
Aspen Ignites: Conversations to Build a Better World is an original series from the Aspen Institute, bringing together influential voices and diverse perspectives with Institute directors and partners. This season of Aspen Ignites was recorded at the 2023 Bloomberg CityLab.
