Midwives can get more sh*t done by bucking the “norm” with Fadwah Halaby, CNM
Fadwah is a midwife practicing in Florida. She has attended countless births and has served in numerous local and national leadership committees to improve clients' births. As a result, she has been supporting the upcoming Born Free Twins-Breech Conference in Louisville, specifically by maximizing CEUs for attendees. In this episode, we discuss horizontal violence in birthwork, the miserable state of birth worker autonomy in the state of Florida, insurance versus direct-pay as an equitable solution for birthing families, and getting shit on within and without the “system”.
