On April 24-25th, nearly 60 Birth Center Equity network members came together from across the country to New Orleans, LA for our first-ever in person gathering, “Birthing Beloved Economy.” Held at the Black-woman owned NOPSI hotel,Birthing Beloved Economy included workshops and discussions exploring how community birth is crucial to reclaiming, restoring, and generating community abundance in all its economic, cultural, and political dimensions. Over these days, BCE network members nurtured a loving and nourishing space for wisdom sharing, storytelling, learning, and fortifying relationships.
