Abstract

We look forward to watching our collaboration grow and inviting more racialized midwives to present their expertise, and continuing to enjoy the camaraderie of Indigenous, Black, and People of Colour (racialized) midwives and midwifery students nationally. We hope this commentary will inspire other equity deserving groups to come together and learn from our experience so that more brave spaces can be borne and nourished.


RÉSUMÉ
Nous avons hâte de voir notre collaboration se développer et d’inviter d’autres sages-femmes racialisées à présenter leur expertise, et de continuer à profiter de la camaraderie des sages-femmes autochtones, noires et de couleur (racialisées) à l’échelle nationale. Nous espérons que ce commentaire incitera d’autres groupes méritant l’équité à se réunir et à apprendre de notre expérience afin que d’autres espaces courageux puissent voir le jour et être nourris.
