How Black Mothers Are Leading Change for Clean Air and Justice in the UK | S4 E1

Welcome back to Black Earth with me, Marion Atieno Osieyo. In each episode, I speak with pioneering Black women from around the world who are re-imagining our relationship with Earth and each other.

This is the first episode of our new season, Season 4, and you can watch the video version on our new YouTube channel here!! 

Today, I meet Agnes Agyepong, founder of Global Child and Maternal Health, for a deep, urgent, and hopeful conversation about air pollution, pregnancy, and environmental justice in the UK. 

In this episode, we explore:

🌍 Groundbreaking research on how air pollution affects the health of Black pregnant women and unborn babies in London

🌍 How Black mothers are leading change for clean air

🌍 What you can do now to reduce air pollution in your home, on your street, and across the UK

💬 “Clean air isn’t a luxury. It’s a birthright. For everyone.”
