Today, I am excited to share a replay of one of my favorite birth stories featured on the Evidence Based Birth\\xae podcast. EBB childbirth class graduates, Brooklyn and Hoang Pham, share their power and miraculous birth story, which became an instant classic and truly touched my heart. \\xa0
As a content warning, we talk about the significantly high rates of maternal mortality among Black and Brown individuals and racism in birth work.\\xa0
On today\\u2019s podcast, we will be talking with Brooklynn and Hoang Pham. Brooklynn and Hoang currently live in Davis, California, and are the parents to Marvel, who turned seven months last December. Brooklynn is the senior managing director of Teach For America in Sacramento, and Hoang is finishing up his final year of law school at UC Davis School of Law. They took the Evidence Based Birth\\xae Childbirth class with EBB instructor, Shalin Butterworth, and are here to share their birth story.
We will talk about Brooklynn\\u2019s and Hoang\\u2019s empowering experience when they attended the Evidence Based Birth\\xae Childbirth class and how it prepared them to feel ready for their powerful and miraculous birth with their doula and EBB instructor, Shalin.\\xa0
