Hey!!

Is anyone on here a Black birth worker or know one?

For my research, I am seeking to interview as many Black midwives (and other Blk birth workers, but midwifery is the central focus) as possible and get connected to birthing centers employing Black birth workers, esp. in the US South.

If you are/someone you know is interested, pls DM me! Thanks for reading!

*pls boost!!*

"But life choices are not randomly distributed in our complex society, nor are the diseases of civilization randomly distributed in less developed countries. Through some mechanism, people at a "lower" level get mainly wretched choices, such as choosing to work where they will be exposed to toxic substances and choosing to be periodically unemployed or chronically underemployed...."
