Black August— Birth Sovereignty and Resilience

  • The Entrepreneur's Sandbox 643 Ilalo Street Honolulu, HI, 96813 United States (map)

Join us for an interactive and engaging workshop with community birth worker and birth sovereignty activist Piper Lovemore. Piper’s work explores the parallels between contemporary birthing contexts and practices, and global reclamation’s of personal and community sovereignty. Learn how the deepening of both empathy & empowerment available thru the birth transition fortifies the resilience potential of family, community and culture, and why protecting this potential must be a priority.
