New Orleans native Kristen Rome, Esp. and her partner Mosi discuss the spiritual significance of home birth guided by the ancestors and nurtured by family.

2. Kristen and Mosi's Birth Story

At Homecoming, we address two myths: 1) Hospitals are the safest place to give birth and 2) Black families don't birth at home. We broadcast how Black families birth in love and choose to birth at home, unassisted or with midwives. We interview parents, birth workers, cloth diaper enthusiasts and also feature stories of hospital transfer during planned home births and even stories of loss. Join us as we discover Black homebirth stories in the context of the national crisis in maternal and infant health. In spite of the statistics, we DO have beautiful births!
