“Also black maternal health, something that nobody liked to talk about before I got here and started dealing with this thing, and other council members started dealing with this thing because it's a real thing. So We started to provide free doula care primarily in Brooklyn. you know, in your borough, because of members like former councilmember Alika Ampre Samuel and others that champion this doula care through. So I'm speaking about the significant, the good stuff that's come out in the lgbtqia.” (26:17–26:21)
