Endorsements for Birthing Liberation

  • "I’m reading BIRTHING LIBERATION by [Sabia Wade] and I appreciate how much care they take in the reader’s experience, particularly when reading about pregnancy and historical trauma. It’s a really beautiful and caring read that I think is essential to everyone doing pregnancy work.

    Renee Bracy Sherman, WeTestify

  • Sabia does not shy away from the hard facts. But they also share ways to move from beliefs to action. This book should be required reading for every non-BIPOC birth worker and health care worker who is serious about putting an end to preventable perinatal death.

    Rebecca Dekker, PhD, RN, Founder of Evidence Based Birth

  • [Birthing Liberation] offers practical lessons on moving toward our collective liberation, carefully placed in historical context that too many birth, health, and community care practitioners don't yet know, because of how these histories are erased or missing from learning environments.

    angelique / omi geehan, Founder, Interchange

  • Sabia Wade’s Birthing Liberation is not only thoughtful and well-researched, it’s a rallying cry, a collective calling-in that challenges us to create a world where every birthing person is cared for deeply, not only in the places where new life springs forth, but in every aspect of our culture.

    Thérèse Cator, Leadership Coach, Healer

  • [Birthing Liberation] is simultaneously required reading for all birthing professionals from doulas to doctors and a guide for everyone devoted to our collective liberation, because we only get free together.

    Thérèse Cator, Leadership Coach, Healer
