In spite of racism and discrimination, Nigerian Americans continue to represent the homeland well, excelling in the United States, as they are currently one of the country’s most successful immigrant communities. Apart from the traditional careers like doctors, lawyers and engineers, Nigerian-Americans are also doing tremendously well in entertainment, sports, and the culinary arts. Why are they given this badge of honor? Joining Dr. Uwa Onyioha Osimiri to discuss this topic, is Dr, Ngozi Orabueze, the CEO/Owner of Georgia Act and Healthcare Services: an Integrated Behavioral and Primary Care Clinic.

There are different marriages worldwide and different traditions implemented to achieve marital bliss. The most successful marriages remain faithful to the original intent, and true to the spiritual tradition in which they permeate.

Join Dr. Uwa Onyioha Osimiri in the Ndumodu Talking Drum Session, and let’s talk about it!

Numerous analyses show that at hospitals that disproportionately serve black mothers, women are at a higher risk of harm during delivery. It’s been long-established that black women fare worse in pregnancy and childbirth, dying at a rate more than triple that of white mothers. The disparity can be attributed to factors like poverty and limited access to quality health care, but recently, there is growing evidence that points to the quality of care at hospitals where a significant number of black women deliver, often in communities negatively affected by segregation. Researchers note that at these so-called “black-serving” hospitals, serious complications such as infections, birth-related embolism, emergency hysterectomies happen than for mothers who deliver at hospitals that cater to a lower number of black women. Join our Host Dr. Uwa Onyioha Osimiri, and Dr. Simona Monet Ajamu as they discuss this very concerning trend and proposed programs to address advocacy for expectant mothers.
