Written by Black Hot Fire Network on December 3, 2022
Two graduates of the University of Toronto’s Temerty Faculty of Medicine are working to improving perinatal care for Black birthing people in Canada.
Gabrielle Retta and Gemma Kabeya are both graduates of the Master of Health Science in Translational Research Program (TRP), which brings together thought leaders, students and mentors to transform scientific discoveries into innovations that improve human health.
For their capstone project last year, they founded the Black Birthing Experience Project. The initiative features a patient handbook focused on self-advocacy through different stages of care, as well . . .
