Exploring Maternal Health
OMUS + OPNRM Video Collaboration Project
The purpose of this collaborative project between OMUS and Open Room (OPNRM) was to explore maternal health in Maricopa County. We wanted to hear the stories, perspectives, and feelings of Black and Brown mothers on pregnancy, childbirth, and maternal health. We’ve condensed the interviews into shorter clips below, each asked a separate question. Here are their answers.
