✨We Are Not Invisible: Doulas & The Work of Survival✨ I felt so lucky to be able to view this documentary on Friday. It was a last minute decision for me and my husband, Isaiah, and it was a night incredibly well spent. The documentary starred some of my friends who move mountains in the Indiana birth workers community as well as doctors and advanced practice medical professionals that weighed in on the appalling maternal and infant mortality rates in Indiana.
Statistics to remember if you don’t know already:
⚪️Indiana is 47 out of 50 for maternal mortality rates in the US
⚪️Up to 85% of the deaths that make up that horrible statistic are preventable
Seeing the people who showed up for this documentary was so moving. It was just an echo chamber (as Isaiah called it) of birth workers talking to themselves. There were other community people and even people who aren’t familiar with birth who showed up to support something so important.
Thanks for having us ❣️
