Sista Midwife Productions, in partnership with the New Orleans Public Library African American Resource Collection presents: A Birth Story Project Sister Sharing Circle
Have you ever given birth? Are you currently pregnant? Do you want to share your experience? Do you have questions that need answering? Looking for a way to connect with other Black women during this sacred time? Join us.
The Birth Story Project is a safe space for Black women to share their birth experiences. Using a sharing circle format, women are encouraged to share as much or as little as they want: the good, the celebratory, the traumatic, the painful, and everything in between.
The circles are led and facilitated by Nicole Deggins, CNM, MSN, MPH of Sista Midwife Productions. It is an opportunity to help others, to heal, to network, and to be a part of the movement to save Black mothers and Black babies. No matter when, where, or how you gave birth, we would love for you to share your story.
This event is family friendly. There will be an activity circle provided for children ages 2 - 8. Refreshments will be served.
