Birthing Liberation presents reproductive justice as the pathway to equity and the birthplace of liberation.
Sabia C. Wade, renowned radical doula and educator, speaks to the intersections of systemic issuesâsuch as access to health care, house transportation, and nutritionâand personal trauma work that, if healed, have the power to lead us to collective liberation in all facets of life.
Collective liberation rests on the idea that in order for us all to have equity in this worldâfrom the safety of childbirth, to the ability to bring a baby home to a safe community, to having access to resources, safety, and opportunities over the long termâwe must all become liberated individuals.
Birthing Liberation creates a path to social and systemic change, starting within the birthing world and expanding far beyond.
