I don't know what most white people in this country feel,

but I can only include what they feel from the state of their institutions.

Now, this is the evidence.

You want me to make an act of faith, risking myself, my wife, my woman, my sister, my children,

on some idealism which you assure me exists in America, which I have never seen.

You're listening to Black History for White People,

a podcast where we educate, resource, and challenge white people about black history.

I'm Brad, and on today's show are my co-host, Katina and

Garen. Today's topic is Abide Women's Health Services. First, we meet up with Cecily Smith outside

of Abide Women's Health Services in Dallas to discuss her organization and the work that she is doing.

Cecily Smith is a writer, speaker, and activist whose mission is to relentlessly pursue God

and the people he loves.

She is the founder and the executive director of Abide Women's Health Services.

Abide exists to improve birth outcomes in communities with the lowest quality of care

by offering health care and

complimentary services that are easily accessible, holistic, evidence-based, and free from

judgment. We're excited to share with you, abide, and the work that Cecily is doing, and we hope

you enjoy the discussion.

So we're here with my sis, Cecily Smith.

Hey, sis.

Hey, sis.

I'm so, first of all, it's so good to see you.
