“Birthright: An Evening of Storytelling, Poetry and Community Connection” will take place on Wednesday, May 7, 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Madison College, 1701 Wright St.
“In Dane County, the data on Black maternity tells a troubling story — one of disparities, neglect, and systemic barriers. But Black mothers, doulas, and birth workers are more than statistics. Their voices, experiences, and resilience deserve to be heard,” Madison College said in a press release announcing the event. “This powerful event will bring together community members to celebrate the strength, love, and ancestral wisdom of Black birth work, featuring storytelling, spoken word, and a thought-provoking panel discussion with the Black Doulas of Madison.”
Registered attendees will receive an exclusive link to watch the award-winning documentary Birthing Justice from April 11–15, further deepening the conversation on Black maternity and reproductive justice. Birthing Justice is an award-winning documentary that amplifies the voices of Black mothers and birth workers, shedding light on the challenges and triumphs of Black maternity care in America.
