Jennie Joseph, founder and president of Commonsense Childbirth and creator of the JJ Way, will discuss her model of evidence-based maternity care delivering readily accessible, patient-centered, culturally congruent care to people in "materno-toxic zones." 

Commonsense Childbirth operates a perinatal training division, a clinical division, a national Midwifery school and the National Perinatal Task Force, a grassroots organization whose mission is the elimination of racial disparities in maternal child health in the USA.

A proud member of The Council of Midwifery Elders, Joseph served on the Advisory Council for the Congressional Black Maternal Health Caucus - Momnibus, is a Fellow of The Aspen Institute, a Salzburg Global Fellow, and is recognized as a TIME Woman of The Year 2022 for her work in promoting maternal health equity. 

Open to the public.
