Reigniting a Path to Connection for 'Wise African Women' throughout the Diaspora"The medical system has changed women. We feel like we can control everything and we cannot... I felt connected to 'other protectors' outside of myself and outside the medical system. I felt like I was protected. I was ready. Anything that would go wrong, it would go wrong at home." ~ Moji Yaï
Moji expresses gratitude to: International Center for Traditional Childbearing (Shafia Monroe's vision for pan-African birth workers' conference), Lina Houessinon (Benin, west African wisdom), Divine Birth Wisdom (Southern African American wisdom)
