*Content Warning: Pregnancy Loss*

Brittany Carmona-Holt is a full spectrum doula, Tarot reader, birth and life photographer, artist, reproductive justice advocate, and author of the forthcoming book called Tarot for Pregnancy: A Companion for Radical, Magical Birthing Folks.

In this conversation, Brittany starts by sharing her journey into writing and the importance of writing from a place of passion and understanding our divine assignments. She tells us about her upcoming book and about the creative process. Brittany talks about the community and lack thereof during pregnancy and postpartum, and how white supremacist and patriarchy culture factor into the deprioritization of those who have the physical mechanics of bringing and baby into the world. We wrap up with some powerful perspectives on honoring Black Grand Midwives and why funding Black midwives and birth workers is so important - and why it’s owed.
