It's Black Maternal Health Week and Cookie Abamu, doula, pastry chef and lactation counselor joins this week's episode of Chakras and Shotguns to talk about all things babies and birth. Curious about how you can be a better advocate for yourself or your partner during childbirth? Mik and Jenn also share the birth stories of their two daughters.
