How Current Systems Are Failing Mothers & How Feminism Needs To Evolve

Kimberly Seals Allers Post

An discussion with Kimberly Seals Allers

Maternity leave shouldn’t be a luxury. Maternal mortality rates in the US are higher than most developed countries, breastfeeding rates are low and Black women are disproportionately affected. Many women are affected by a system that is failing them.

In this discussion journalist Kimberly Seals-Allers addresses:

– Why all women need to have access to the education and tools that will help them have a more satisfying birth and postpartum experience.
– The reason Black women and babies are suffering from a failing system the most
– Why traditional feminism needs to evolve
– Why the work of mothering needs to be valued as important work
– The reason we need a culture that supports mothers

Hi there! I’m Royah Loie, a doula, childbirth educator, lactation counselor and the creator of The Insider Mom Podcast. Becoming a parent made me realize so many things, one of which is the incredible work so many moms do in raising their kids, work that sometimes goes unnoticed in society. It’s unfortunate because, I truly believe that moms have one of the most valuable jobs in the world .

That’s why I created Insider Mom, to help you on your journey as a person and as a parent. Whether you want to find ways to get more sleep, workout more and feel energized, learn about the best parenting strategies, make more time for self-care, or other topics, you can find it on the blog or podcast.
