    Outspoken with Regina - Black Maternal Health: Power, Care, and What Gets Protected

    Outspoken with Regina Davis Moss is back with a conversation that reframes Black maternal health as a question of power, policy, and narrative. In honor of Black Maternal Health Week, Regina is joined by Keesha Hernandez, CD, CLES, birth and postpartum doula, and Saleemah J. McNeil, MS, MFT, Founder and Executive Director of Oshun Family Center, to explore how community-based care, organizing, and advocacy shape real outcomes for Black birthing people. Blair Imani, creator of Smarter in Seconds, also joins for a Creator’s Corner conversation on how storytelling shapes what people understand about pregnancy, postpartum, and care—and why those narratives matter. From lived experience to structural change, this episode makes clear: what we choose to name, share, and organize around determines what gets protected.

    Outspoken with Regina: Beyond Representation: Black History and the Fight for Narrative Power

    As Black History Month comes to a close, we’re confronting a moment of active erasure — from school curricula to journalists to public records to the cultural stories shaping how Black women are understood. In this episode of Outspoken with Regina, Regina Davis Moss welcomes back writer and cultural critic Dr. Michelle Taylor PhD aka Feminista Jones for a powerful conversation about narrative power. Together, they explore the difference between representation and infrastructure, how portrayals of Black women shape public belief, and why cultural narratives often determine whether policy change is possible. This episode asks a critical question: What happens when Black history is flattened, sanitized, or erased — and how do we build narrative ecosystems strong enough to protect autonomy, dignity, and belonging?
