A Safe Black Birth is a documentary photo series looking into the diverse perspectives about the Black maternal mortality rate in the UK. According to MBRACE-UK, the maternal mortality rate is three times higher in Black birthing parents than white birthing parents. Thinking more intimately than raw statistics, this series features the voices of Black mothers, midwives, doulas and advocacy workers speaking about the real-life impact of the racial gaps in maternal care and the best practices to move forward.
