🧠 Lecture: "What Our Grandmothers Knew About Care That Data Now Proves"

🎤 Speaker: Tiwani Oseni

What if some of our most powerful health innovations aren't innovations at all?

For centuries, grandmothers, midwives, elders, and neighbors have guided families through birth, healing, and everyday caregiving. Long before hospitals, clinical trials, or public health campaigns, communities built systems of care rooted in trust, shared knowledge, and collective support.

Today, emerging research is beginning to validate what these communities have known for generations.

Join public health storyteller Tiwani Oseni, MPH, for a fascinating journey from the 1800s to today, tracing how community wisdom evolved alongside institutional medicine. Together, we’ll explore the origins of doulas, peer support, and community-based care while asking a deeper question: What happens when science finally catches up to ancestral wisdom?

Tiwani Oseni is the National Advocacy Manager at HealthConnect One, the national leader in equitable, peer-to-peer support for pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and early parenting. Her work blends public policy, strategic communications, coalition building, and storytelling to advance maternal health equity.

Whether you’re drawn to history, psychology, medicine, or the simple act of caring for others, you’ll leave seeing support—and the people who provide it—in a whole new light.
