In this very special episode of The Cosmic We, we're honoring the life of our beloved co-host Dr. Barbara Holmes. Co-host Donny Bryant and producer Corey Wayne recall what it was like working on this show with Dr. B over the last 4 years. Coincidentally, the last unaired episode was with Dr.B's cousin Linda Holmes. We had been working on it across the last year of Dr. Holmes' life. As we look to living her teachings forward through this show, we wanted to share this powerful conversation.This conversation covers a lot of ground: the history of Black midwifery, systemic racism in healthcare, and the spiritual traditions surrounding birth, the importance of honoring African traditions, and the need to reclaim and transform the medical system to name a few. Linda shares her birthing journey and how it led her to champion birth justice and to connect with midwives in both the US and Africa.A fun fact, Linda and Dr. B grew up in the same home. They take us into their shared childhood, their family's history, and the powerful connections between midwifery and Black history.Linda's book Safe in a Midwife's Hands was a finalist for the <a href="https://www.maah.org/maah-stone-book-award">Stone Book Award</a> for the Museum of African American History.About Linda: Linda Janet Holmes, writer, biographer, oral historian, curator, and long-time women's health activist, is the author of the groundbreaking book, <a href="https://www.lindajholmes.net/safe_in_a_midwife_s_hands__birthing_traditions_from_africa_to_the_american_south_.htm">Safe in a Midwife's Hands: Birthing Traditions from Africa to the American South</a>.
