This podcast features an interview with Tiffany Renée, a Black and Indigenous healer and birth worker located in Seattle, Washington, and focuses on the transformative process of birth and development through her lens. University of Washington M.Ed. students Grace Crowley, Meryl Haque, and Courtney Leake invite you to join us in exploring pre and postpartum development of children and parents, how inequities and identity impact development, and 4th trimester developments. "Babies aren't the only ones who are born [...] You're being born as parents, you're being reborn as a family" - Tiffany Renée.

We honor and acknowledge the people of the Suquamish, Coast Salish, Duwamish, Stillaguamish, Muckleshoot, Snohomish, and Tulalip tribes who have stewarded this land for generations, and whose land we are complicit in settling. Indigenous people have been and continue to be the experts of this land. We call for all listeners to find out whose ancestral land you are on by going to native-land.ca to learn what issues the tribes in your area are working through and how to support or join their efforts.
