Our Story

Listen to Me is a documentary that explores the realities of birth, care, and community through the lived experiences of Black women and birthing people. It’s a call to action, a celebration of resilience, and a tool for education and healing.

“A rhythm that undulates between love song, informative journalism, prayer, and cautionary tale… Impossible to hold back tears.”
