Description

"Wade's attention to how personal change can contribute to societal shifts elevates this above other titles that focus on the self, and the solid research drives home the scope of the problem. This deeply empathetic overview of medical racism will outrage and has the power to inspire change." - Publisher's Weekly

Birthing Liberation presents reproductive justice as the pathway to equity and the birthplace of liberation.

Sabia C. Wade, renowned radical doula and educator, speaks to the intersections of systemic issues such as access to health care, housing, transportation, and nutrition. She explores personal trauma work that, if healed, has the power to lead us to collective liberation in all facets of life.

Collective liberation rests on the idea that in order for us all to have equity in this world—from the safety of childbirth, to the ability to bring a baby home to a safe community, to having access to resources, safety, and opportunities over the long term—we must all become liberated individuals.

Birthing Liberation creates a path to social and systemic change, starting within the birthing world and expanding far beyond.
