This is part 1 of the Black Diamonds Series: Becoming a Queer Black Student Midwife with Rafeal Newport. This 12 month diary will document the first year of Rafeal's student midwifery journey.

In today's episode, we will meet Rafeal and dive into the how and why she found this work. We talk about ancestors, community, universal calling, the DIRE NEED for queer & trans black femmes to be doing this work and much more.
