Me, You and SACKRED Birth: Book Reading + Q&A Series | Chapter 5

SACKRED Truths: Communication IS Care. The "C" in #SACKRED speaks to the soul of what quality care should be: communication and information exchange that affirms, protects, and centers the humanity of Black mothers and birthing people.

Hospital metrics, reimbursement systems, and clinician training STILL fail to measure what matters: the repeated, predictable patterns of harm in how we are spoken to, ignored, or misinformed during pregnancy and birth.

Our stories aren't anecdotal — they are data. They are evidence. They are proof.

And know this: Black mothers named it. Defined it. Validated it.

The PREM-OB Scale ® suite and the SACKRED Birth Framework exist because we refuse to be gaslit by systems not built for, by or with us.

This is about our liberation. Our safety. Our right to birth in dignity and truth.

Join Dr. Karen A. Scott as we explore Chapter 5: Communication and Information Exchange — a powerful conversation.
