Birthing Beyond Borders
This podcast amplifies the voices of immigrant mothers, centering their lived experiences of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery. Through honest storytelling, we explore the challenges they face, the resilience they embody, and the resources that shape their perinatal journeys. By documenting these stories, the podcast serves as both an archive of immigrant mothers' experiences and a practical guide for future immigrant mothers navigating pregnancy and the postpartum period.

In this episode, I interview Vivian, a graduate student living in the US with her twin daughters. We discuss her birthing experience with the US health care system and the resources she found to be most helpful. Vivian talks about how helpful the Nigerian community in Madison, Wisconsin, was in helping her navigate motherhood in a new country. This episode is funded by the 4W Initiative, and the African Center for Community Development supported the production.
