19. Racism, Re-education, and Realities for First Nations Women in Birth and Motherhood with Alicia Johnson

Introducing: Alicia Johnson. Alicia is an Indigenous woman, academic and mother. In her work, studies, motherhood and all other areas of her life, she is navigating colonisation in the 21st century, challenging racial stereotypes and type casts of what it means to be “black, fat, proud and a mummy”!
Alicia combines her usual hard-hitting social commentary with trademark humour and stories from her own life. You’ll also hear about “Midnight Mothers”, her biggest professional project yet that invites those interested in re-educating themselves to review the world of birth through the lens of First Nations women.
