Talkin Story

Birthing in Place, with guests Savannah Hansel and Sasha Marshall


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore the otherside of giving birth as we chat with a couple local PGM folx - Savannah and Sasha - who both recently have given birth.

The effects that community can have on families is poignantly explored in this episode, which could be heard as the second half of the previous episode with Meshell.

Sasha Marshall is a local parent, dreamer, and data nerd. She finds joy in building up community and watching things flourish through the chaos.

As an enrolled Haida tribal member, mother of three, wife, and golden doodle mamma, Savannah Hansel is a verified NW boss lady. She grew up between Port Townsend, where her dad's family lived since the 1960s, and Seattle's Native Alaskan diaspora on Capitol Hill.

Over the past 20 years in PT, she has managed restaurants, worked in healthcare, run for county office on a substantive progressive platform, and was sponsored by the local Democrats as a fellow in a state democratic leadership program.

Savannah takes pride in her work at Centrum promoting the next generation of youth creatives. At home, she's a masterful cook and food preserver, and fierce leader for her family.
