Today we get to hear the birth stories of a woman who dared to dream. Rava Ray desired to birth on the island of her people but was met with a lot of road blocks along the way. Her journey to the birth she wanted required a lot of perseverance, patience and creativity. It also opened up her eyes to the realities of the birth climate around the world where options are limited, conventional medicine prevails and traditional practices are systemically erased. In a world where women centered birthing is an endangered practice, we hope this inspires you to dream big. May this be a reminder that we have the power to shift the tides in maternity care worldwide.
