About Health

Maternal health outcomes have become more disparate with black women being three times as likely to die from pregnancy-related causes as white women. Most pregnancy-related deaths are preventable, so what are the causes? What work is being done to end preventable mortality and racial disparities? Join Nurse Rona and Dr. Amanda Williams to discuss these issues and take your calls. Archival episode as About Health was pre-empted on sister station KPFA for a fund drive special. No call ins of course in any event.



Dr. Amanda Williams is an ob/gyn in clinical practice and also heads the California Maternal Quality Care Collaborative at Stanford University.



1AM

Herbal Highway

Kicking off our Black Herbalist Voices series, host Sarah Holmes interviews Earcine Evans, a fourth-generation herbalist and farmer in Pickens, Mississippi. Mrs. Evans grows food and herbs, creates a line of skin and hair products as well as teaches in her community and beyond. Emiliano Lemus of the Herbal Highway collective does some pitching, as sister station KPFA is also in fund drive at this time. We have trimmed most of that out, but donations are definitely needed here at KPFK

Archival episode.

Food Sleuth Radio

Kirsten Stolle, visual artist who examines the global influence of agrichemical companies on our food system

Did you know that artists can play a unique role in helping us think critically about the global influence of agrichemical companies on our food system? Join Food Sleuth Radio host and Registered Dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Kirsten Stolle, a visual artist whose works intersect art, science and culture to examine the global influence of agrichemical companies on our food system. Stolle describes her artwork, and explains how she helps viewers see propaganda, corporate green-washing and advertising strategies, while promoting critical thinking and visual literacy. Her unique collages reflect her concern with industrial food production and the influence of biotechnology. She delves into the historical ties between Monsanto, Bayer, and Dow and chemical warfare. Her work is included in permanent collections and exhibits in museums and galleries across the U.S. and the EU.

She has worked extensively with parents, preschool staff, teen parents, and families experiencing substance abuse issues as a parent educator/consultant in Austin, Texas for the past 30 years. Kirsten LOVES leading all sorts of support groups and classes, especially ones that involve play, pillow fights, and wrestling. She has been using the Hand in Hand parenting approach in her own family for over 24 years and is eternally grateful to have had these support tools during the teen years as her boys grow into young men. All of her work is based on the principles of the Hand in Hand Approach, which she believes to be nothing short of a Peace Movement in Action.
