19. Kalauokekahuli: A New Dawn for Hawaiʻi
Episode description
An interview about childbirth and the regeneration of ancestral knowledge with ʻIolani Brosio, co-founder of Kalauokekahuli.
Kalauokekahuli supports Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander birthing people by providing culturally based prenatal, birth, and postpartum support and education. They seek to directly address NHPI disparities in birth outcomes by creating free, accessible, and culturally competent informational resources to the community. By sharing information, videos, and art that center NHPI cultural identities, they hope to educate and empower the birthing community to reclaim traditional practices surrounding birth, and ultimately reclaim birth sovereignty and bodily autonomy.
