UBCLC Birthing through transformation: A collective vision of growth, connection and inclusion

Please join us virtually for a presentation on birthing through transformation: A collective vision of growth, connection and inclusion with Kilila Birth Collective Birthing. At Kilila Birth Keeper Collective we are a group of women and mothers from diverse backgrounds who have combined our knowledge and experiences to shape the heart of our work and our initiative. Which is, to provide compassionate and culturally safe support to the families we walk alongside. We grew our collective out of the need for Indigenous birth keepers for Indigenous families and the need for allyship within our birth worker community. Questions began to arise in how we can help bridge those gaps. What does it mean to our collective and to our communities to decolonize?  How can we bring our work back into the model or way of  life of “mino biimaadizwin” which translates to the good life or living well in Ojibwe. Walking in that good medicine and without conflict between one another. Our teachings tell us that we are accountable to each other as fellow community members, as birth keepers to families and within a professional context; a responsibility to our Indigenous colleagues, collectives, outreach organizations and health care providers who are providing reproductive support to the families.
