Just as a renaissance symbolizes the “rebirth” or “revival” of learning from an earlier period of time, Black birth workers represent those who are embracing the traditional birth practices of midwives and healers who were systematically discarded and banned during the middle of the 20th Century. Today, Black women are participating in and fueling the Black Birth Renaissance of the 21st Century. We are equipping ourselves to help ourselves and heal ourselves in order to save ourselves.
