In Loving Communion: Critical Conversations on Racism, Health, and Healing

Wednesday, September 24, 2025

12:30 PM-1:30 PM

Join the Ubuntu Center on Racism, Global Movements & Population Health Equity for a community conversation with Irene Headen, PhD, MS, assistant professor at Dornsife, titled, “Neighborhood Systems Supporting Black Maternal Health."

Dr. Headen explores how neighborhoods can be a cornerstone for the physical and social resources that support a healthy pregnancy. In Black neighborhoods impacted by decades of a segregation and divestment, these resources can not only be sparse, but compound and exacerbate the impact of other factors.

This talk will illuminate takeaways from Black birthing people and service providers in Philly about how neighborhood systems create challenging or supportive environments during the childbearing window.
