    What happens when hip-hop meets community building?

  • The Fight for Birth Equity in Cleveland and Beyond
    Jul 22 2025

    Black women face some of the highest infant mortality and maternal death rates in the country. But one organization is changing the narrative.

    In this episode of Keepin’ It Cleveland, host Isaac Williams talks with Jazmine Long, President & CEO of Birthing Beautiful Communities, about building a freestanding birth center led by and for Black women, the first of its kind in Ohio.

    This conversation explores the deep roots of racial disparity in healthcare, the importance of community based care, and the unapologetic leadership it takes to build something that outlives you.

    This isn’t just birth work. It’s legacy work.
