Abstract:	Voices of Birth Workers of Color communicates the motivations, inspirations and stories of 6 birth workers of color from Southern California. The words of the speaker are directly inserted in the first-person narrative and are placed upon a backdrop of indigenous textiles and patterns. An intention behind creating this zine was to provide folks with a beautiful resource that introduces them to the diversity in birth work itself as well as the terrifying statistics and lived realities that inspire us to do this work. "There is no coincidence that interest in doula and midwifery practice is emerging from within many of us. It is our time to reclaim that which the medical industrial complex has taken from us for many years, the right to birth freely but also the belief in our bodies and in our ancestral knowledge related to birth." - Berenice Dimas, doula y hierbera
