What does birth look like in Ghana today? In this powerful episode, Bianca sits down with Bobette, founder of Uzuri Birth, to explore how ancestral knowledge, global education, and personal experience collide in modern Ghanaian birthwork.
From her early life in Congo to training in Europe and Canada, and finally returning home to Ghana, Bobette shares her journey of becoming a birthworker rooted in tradition and liberation. We talk about hospital births in Ghana, the erasure of traditional birth practices, what it means to reclaim them, and the deep wisdom gained through birthing and supporting births across continents.
We also get personal: Bobette opens up about her own birth experiences in both Canada and Ghana - and the emotional, cultural, and systemic differences between them.
Whether you’re a birth professional, a doula in training, or someone passionate about reproductive justice, this episode will challenge you to think beyond Western birth models and tune into the global movement for maternal support rooted in community, culture, and care.
