From L&D Nurse to Homebirth Midwife: Changing the Narrative for Black Women

In this episode of My Black Home Birth Podcast, host Brittney sits down with Christine, a Chicago-native Certified Nurse Midwife now serving the Metro Atlanta area through her practice, Birth by Grace Midwifery. Christine shares her journey from labor and delivery nurse to homebirth midwife, the moment a colleague inspired her to pursue midwifery school, and why she's passionate about changing the narrative around birth for Black women.

Christine opens up about the power of families witnessing birth in its most natural, supported state — and how that ripple effect can shift generations. She also gets candid about her own two hospital births, the privilege of being cared for by her nurse friends, and why homebirth simply wasn't on her radar at the time.

From reclaiming power in the birth space to bumping Cash Money on the way to a birth — this conversation is real, inspiring, and full of gems. Tune in! 🎙️ Find Christine at Birth by Grace Midwifery on Instagram, Facebook & Google, or search "midwife in Tyrone, GA." She serves Metro Atlanta and beyond.
