This week I'm talking to Bianca Sprague, co-founder and CEO of bebo mia inc. We discuss why birth work is feminist work, the role of a doula at a birth, how birth is getting riskier in North America particularly for marginalized communities, making maternal support more applicable and how using our voices to advocate for ourselves is an act of resistance.
CW: birth trauma
