## Resource

In this episode, Sierra Sankofa and I talk about revolutionary homeschooling, birth work and Black maternal health, and life-saving mutual aid. In many ways, this episode is a love letter to Black birth workers, to the U.S. South, and to the long legacies of Black mothers surviving, organizing, resisting, and creating new worlds in the region.
