In this continuation of our conversation about cultural appropriation with Montse Olmos, Mujer dela Tierra, and Mayte Acolt, The Womb Doula, we dive into accountability & anti-racism in birthwork rooted in Mayte & Montse's background as Tutunaku Birth Companions from Mexico. We discuss how these themes have come up as they have navigated the response to their petition requesting removal of Rebozo training from doula workshops.
Join us as we discuss:
~white saviorism in birthwork
~accountability in community...calling in & calling out
~birthwork as a political act
~examining our positionality as birthworkers
