Description
At Homecoming, we feature the stories of Black families who birth at home. We bring awareness to the contemporary movement in which parents are seeking alternatives to hospital birth in search of more positive and fulfilling birth experiences. Our show includes conversations with dynamic guests and experts including birthing people, partners, midwives, doulas, childbirth educators, and cloth diaper enthusiasts. Raising consciousness through storytelling, we hope to serve as a resource for all who are considering birthing at home.
