Hosted by Nola MCHC and Black Birth Matters, this moderated discussion at the Black Pride NOLA Summit will explore how evolving state policies affect maternal, child, and reproductive health—especially in Black and LGBTQ+ communities. Panelists will unpack the real-life implications of recent legislative changes and share strategies for navigating systems of care. Topics include reproductive justice, trans health in the perinatal period, family planning, and accessing critical resources like doulas and childcare.
