Shout out to Leseliey Welch of Birth Detroit for her incredible piece published in Ms. Magazine titled How We Can Turn Away From Medicalized Birth Culture and Reset the U.S. Birth Care System. ✒️ ❤️
Here is just one beautiful snippet of what she's written:
"In the face of crumbling systems, Grace Lee Boggs told us that 'now is the time to grow our souls.' Now is also the time to grow our courage. We have decades of maternal health research, public health strategy history, midwifery wisdom and a not-to-do list from a failed system to draw upon."
Could not have been more beautifully put. We encourage you all to read the full piece here:
