Show Notes


In this episode I have a beautiful chat with one of my closet friends Melissa Rony. Melissa Rony is studying medicine, she is an activist,  and the sweetest doula around.
In this episode we discuss medical racism, fears around birthing, reproductive justice decolonizing birth, and experiencing pleasure while birthing. 

Here are the resources mentioned in the episode.
