Episode 106 - Decolonisation of birth

 

Todays topic is the decolonisation of birth. Mel invites Aimee Aroha (@aimeearoha) and Kirrily Dawn (@the_returning_ @kirillydawn) to approach this topic from an Indigenous perspective. We learn that decolonisation is about restoration of what was lost through colonisation. We start from the beginning for anyone who is new to this topic but go deep for people with a long term investment in decolonisation
