S6E7 - Birth in Ghana Isn’t What You Think: A Conversation with Bobette from Uzuri Birth

In this powerful follow-up episode, Bianca sits down once again with Bobette from Uzuri Birth in Ghana to go even deeper into the realities of birthwork in West Africa.

Together, they explore what birth really looks like in Ghana today: from systemic challenges and cultural beliefs about danger in birth, to the power of traditional practices that are still alive (and those being revived). Bobette shares some of her most impactful birth stories, her dream of building a community-led birth house, and the intersection of ancestral wisdom and modern reproductive care.

This episode is a heart-led conversation about reclaiming tradition, confronting colonial legacies in birth care, and returning to community-rooted models of support.

If you’re passionate about reproductive justice, birthworker education, or decolonizing doula work, this is one you don’t want to miss.

Plus:

• Bianca shares a personal update on reconnecting with her sister after a decade apart
• How a full moon breathwork ceremony cracked open a season of grief and healing
• And what’s next as she begins a new journey of feminist business healing
