This is not your regular history lesson. BAPS Productions and Clash Productions present Hall Pass: The Podcast. Our host Jamal Andress sits down with industry experts and historians to discuss parts of our history that might not have made it into your textbooks. Class is officially in session.
Black Women in the U.S. are three to four times more likely to die from a pregnancy-related death than white women. Black babies have an infant mortality rate that is double that of white babies. On this episode, Jamal speaks with Jamarah Amani, Director of Southern Birth Justice Network and midwife herself, and Keisha Goode of the National Association of Certified Professional Midwives about the Black experiences in midwifery.

The Election Underdog
Before one of the most critical elections in our nation's history, we're forced to reckon with a deep past. Kamala Harris said it best, "We don't know their stories but we stand on their shoulders," referring to the Black women who helped secure the right to vote but were still prohibited from voting, long after its ratification. Jamal sits down with author Evette Dionne to reflect on the 19th Amendment's centennial anniversary and the past, present & future of Black women in the suffrage movement.
