Created and hosted by award-winning journalist Farai Chideya, OUR BODY POLITIC is unapologetically centered on reporting on not just how women of color experience the major political events of today, but how they're impacting those very issues.

Weekly episodes feature in-depth conversations about the economy, health, politics, education, the environment, and the most prescient issues—because all issues are women's issues. Tune in every Friday everywhere you listen to podcasts, and on public radio stations around the country.

This week on OUR BODY POLITIC, Representative Lauren Underwood joins us to talk about how the federal government can tackle the Black maternal health crisis. Hear the story of Dr. Justina Ford, a Black doctor in the 1900s who served patients of color and delivered 7,000 babies at her home in Denver.

On this episode, Farai Chideya talks with Representative Lauren Underwood about how the federal government can tackle the Black maternal health crisis. Dr. Rachel Hardeman of the Center for Antiracism Research for Health Equity explains why she focuses on the impact of racism on health.

Farai shares the latest findings that Black women are over three times more likely to die of Covid-19 than white men or Asian men in two U.S. states. And we learn about Dr. Justina Ford, a Black doctor in the 1900s who served patients of color in Denver.

On Sippin’ the Political Tea, Farai and Errin Haines of the 19th welcome journalist Fernanda Santos to talk about the state of things at the U.S.-Mexico border, and the possibilities of immigration reform under the Biden-Harris administration.
