Join Dietre Epps, CEO of RACE for Equity, as she engages with Maya Jackson, Courtnie Carter, and Megan McKenzie from the Lived Experience Advisory Group, known as The LEAGUE™. In this episode, the group discusses the critical role that community voices play in shaping maternal health policies. They share their journeys, challenges, and the importance of centering lived experiences in developing effective, empathetic strategies for maternal health. Learn what it takes to truly support those with lived experience, from creating flexible, accessible environments to ensuring that contributions are valued and reflected in policy-making.
