Flemmie Kittrell Visiting Scholar shares human-centered approach to maternal health

Jennie Joseph, founder and president of Commonsense Childbirth, hosted a public lecture, met with students and faculty, spoke in classes and engaged with the Ithaca community. The visiting scholar initiative honors the legacy of Flemmie Pansy Kittrell, the first Black woman in the U.S. to earn a doctorate in nutrition and the first to receive a Ph.D. in any subject at Cornell.
