Summary
Today, I'm talking with licensed midwife turned radical birth keeper, Kemi "BirthJoy" Johnson.
After two traumatic hospital births of her own, and nearly four decades of pursuing medical midwifery, Kemi was faced with the harsh realities of the medical system over and over again, and decided to remove herself from it- for her sake, and the sake of the women that she served.
In this episode, we talk about the modern day witch-hunt of traditional midwives by the medical industry, what it looks like to serve women in integrity, and how women like Kemi are reclaiming the word "midwife" all over the world.
