You may know her as Ashley from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air or as a Grammy-nominated artist. But today, Tatyana Ali is here to talk about something very few people expect. In this episode, Tatyana joins Adil to share her own childbirth experience and the moment she realised she was not being listened to. What followed was not just frustrating. It was frightening. And it opened her eyes to a much bigger problem facing mothers around the world.Across countries and health systems, women of African descent face far higher risks during pregnancy and birth. Being dismissed, ignored, or not taken seriously is part of that story. This is not rare. It is happening every day.As part of her campaign with the UNFPA, Tatyana speaks honestly about birth trauma, medical bias, and why motherhood is still dangerous for too many women worldwide.Want to support our show?
