So beyond excited to share that Ash will be speaking at the incredible @bornintothis.co conference hosted by @doulatrainingsint. Anyone who works in birth, or with pregnant people, this is THE conference. It uniquely brings together those interested in the intersection of social justice, technology and creativity and explores entrepreneurship, social justice, technology, and intersectionality. Some fave conversations that will be happening? Decolonizing at the Root: Settler Colonialism, Granny Midwives & the Mayhem of Intersectionality within Birthwork and Ash will be speaking on The Five Year Itch: What's Next panel- where we explore your options as a doula outside of attending births.
