"If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, you must write it." At Birthing In Color (BIC), Toni Morrison's poignant words resonate with us. We believe that if there is a story that you want to hear that hasn’t been told yet, you must tell it. Sierra and Dominique, co-hosts of Birthing In Color, realized that the birth stories of People of Color are rarely centered in mainstream narratives. BIC is changing this paradigm by celebrating two of the oldest and most precious forms of human connection: storytelling and birth. We hope you enjoy listening to these deeply personal and compelling stories. “Some people say when we are born, we're born into stories. I say we’re also born from stories.”-Ben Okri, Nigerian novelist
