In this episode, we welcome Illinois Lieutenant Governor Juliana Stratton for an inspiring conversation on her efforts to raise underrepresented voices and enhance community healthcare. Juliana serves as the 48th Lieutenant Governor of Illinois, and is the first Black woman to hold the office and one of eight Black women in history to hold the title across the nation.

Then we explore why birth equity is vital, the personal stories behind her dedication to this cause, and the transformative Birth Equity Investments recently approved in Illinois’ new fiscal year budget. These investments, including a $50 million child tax credit, funding to assess maternal mortality rates, and grants for pregnancy support services are set to make a significant impact.
Lieutenant Governor Stratton also shares inspirational stories from her advocacy journey, highlighting how birth equity initiatives can empower community health centers and uplifting vulnerable populations.
