Today's episode is dedicated to understanding the racial disparities in the fertility space and how racial trauma can affect fertility. We are honored to have Dr. Loree Johnson return to the podcast today to educate us on the history of reproductive rights among black women and how racism continues to plague black women on TTC journeys.  

Dr. Loree serves on the antiracism task force for the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. She is a licensed marriage and family therapist, and she specializes in women's mental health and reproductive health.
