A proposito di questo titolo

Welcome to the Book Interview Series! This capsule of episodes is from the interviews I conducted while writing my book Mom, Unfiltered. You'll hear from mothers, therapists, midwives, doulas, and more.

Our first guest is Robina Khalid. Robina founded her homebirth practice, Small Things Grow Midwifery, in 2017. She has been attending births for over a decade and has served as primary midwife for more than 500 births. Her experiences as a working class, biracial child in the United States and in Pakistan awoke in her a deep curiosity about race, gender, and class, and the intersections between them.

That curiosity initially led her to complete a PhD in English with a focus on race and gender in early America at the CUNY Graduate Center. Her experiences as a doctoral student and professor influenced her calling to midwifery, which was both spiritual and political: she believes that pregnancy and birth are sacred experiences that exist in a world often hostile to those doing the birthing, and she works to change that.
