Discover the remarkable story of Faisa Farole, a seasoned midwife who blazes trails with the founding of Washington state's inaugural Black woman-owned freestanding birth center. Located in Seattle, the Federal Way Birth Center is more than just a medical facility; it's a beacon of community support, especially for women and babies of color. Recognizing the challenges faced by Black women in maternal care, Farole's visionary initiative aims to address disparities head-on. Join us as we explore her journey and the transformative impact of culturally competent care on maternal health outcomes.
