Hi, I'm Chelsea a 30 something INFJ mum. Along with my social media accounts that barely get the attention they deserve, this blogcast gives snippets of my journey to becoming a midwife. I’ll be discussing the parent-student juggle, placement, assignments, what's going on in the big wide world, as well as what going on in this head of mine as this black mum (with ADHD) becomes a badass babycatcher!

    Be So Others Can See - Ep 4 - The Decolonisation of Midwifery Education

    Be So Others Can See - Ep 4 - The Decolonisation of Midwifery Education

    Join me for the fourth and final instalment of my project. I'll be sharing my thoughts on decolonising midwifery education. What does it mean to me? How can we do it? Why do we need to do it? This topic set me on the path I am currently on. While it can be lonely at times, I know there is value in this work. For students, for midwives, for women and birthing people and for society as a whole.

    If you are interested in either my workshop or collaborating, please drop me a line. I'd love to hear from you.

    Be So Others Can See Project Ep1 - Each One Teach One

    Be So Others Can See Project Ep1 - Each One Teach One

    Join me and some fabulous guests for the first episode of a 4 part mini-series! 

    The phrase Each One, Teach One is an African proverb that originated in the United States during slavery when Africans were denied education. When someone learned how to read or write, it became their responsibility to teach someone else. The idea is to spread knowledge for the betterment of your community.

    During this episode we will be sharing our triumphs, our challenges and our top tips for aspiring and current students. No matter what part of your journey you're on, every day is a learning day!!
