Your Voice, Our Future

As part of All Our Babies: Birthing in the Afrofuture, the Your Voice, Our Future Storytelling Booths provide a space for community members to share their birth stories, hopes, fears, and dreams. These booths serve as an archive of lived experiences, recognizing the importance of every voice in shaping a new birthing future.

Through oral, audio, and written storytelling, participants will have the opportunity to:

• Share personal or ancestral birth stories—Reflecting on the joys, challenges, and triumphs of Black birthing experiences.

• Speak their dreams into existence—Envisioning a world where Black birth is safe, respected, and filled with joy.

• Offer wisdom and affirmations—Sharing messages of healing, resilience, and empowerment for future generations.

​

By gathering these powerful narratives, Your Voice, Our Future will help build a collective story of Black birthing futures, ensuring that Black voices remain at the center of shaping policies, practices, and cultural shifts.
