DESCRIPTION:The School of Interdisciplinary Studies is proud to present a screening of the documentary &quot\;Delivering While Black&quot\; followed by a Q &amp\; A discussion with Director and Producer\, Amanda Rostic\, MPH (GVSU) and cast members.\n\n\n\nFrom the film&#39\;s website\: &quot\;There are stark and undeniable differences in maternal and infant outcomes between Black birthing people and White birthing people in the USA. Delivering While Black is a short documentary focused on Birth Justice in Grand Rapids\, MI. These statistics are more than just numbers\, these are real lives impacted and unjustly lost due to systemic and institutionalized racism. The title Delivering While Black is a nod to the concept of driving while Black. For those unfamiliar with this terminology\, driving while Black refers to the type of racial profiling that can cost Black motorist their lives. Decades of research highlights similar trends amongst Black birthing people in the USA. The fear of entering the healthcare system and dying secondary to being dismissed and disregarded is a real reality faced by Black birthing people all over the nation.&quot\;\n\n\n\nPlease join us in LTT 103 on March 20 from 5\:30 - 7\:30pm for a a profound (and delicate) interdisciplinary conversation on this urgent issue in American healthcare. \n\n\n\nAccess a health equity dialogue toolkit to engage with the topics of the film.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n
