With an invitation from First Voice Media producer Kendall Crakow, Birth Bruja creator & host Eri Guajardo Johnson and We Rise co-creator & co-host Cat Petru sat down to weave stories about their mothers and grandmothers. As the two state in their dialogue, there are so many stories left untold. The ones that surfaced reflect the personal & political, pain & revelation. They are prayers, memories, and offerings.
What is your relationship with mothers & mothering? How has it been defined and by whom? What might reclaiming this relationship feel like? And who or what might be available for support on this journey?
Hear more from Eri on her podcast Birth Bruja, available on iTunes & SoundCloud.
