Women’s Wednesdays: Women’s Health: Medicine, Mentorship & Motherhood

On Wednesday, October 2, we were joined by Dr. Agatha Mackey, who spoke about her journey to becoming an Ob/Gyn. She also answered questions about access to healthcare for women in all stages of life.

Kadesha mediated the conversation for us, asking Dr. Agatha Mackey about her decision to study medicine and specialize in obstetrics and gynecology, her mentorship experiences, and how motherhood affects her practice.

Women’s Wednesdays was designed by Equality Bahamas as a response to community members’ requests for a space to access resources, experts, and practitioners, share knowledge, and engage in conversation with one another. Officially started in May 2017, Women’s Wednesdays highlights Bahamian women and our experiences in The Bahamas, specific to our identities including gender, race, sexuality, age, and ability. Held once per month at minimum, the events draw women together to have conversations that bring our individual lives into focus while connecting to family, community, and national narratives.

#WW242 intentionally centers and prioritizes women and girls, and is open to the public through in-person events, livestreams, and social media activity. With the support of the National Art Gallery of The Bahamas, we create a safe space for knowledge-building, idea-sharing, critical dialogue, and movement-building.
