In this episode Cameron and Oceana traverse the vast territory of body sovereignty with our friend Meshell.
We touch on food as family, what it's like to try in a body related profession as a PGM, and gender fluidity in a traditionally femme dominated midwifery profession.
Their fearless advocacy for culturally relevant agency over the body is nothing short of inspired.
Meshell (they/she) is a Xicana Partera, a Certified Professional and Licensed Midwife (CPM, LM) and a Community Herbalist who centers community and ancestral knowledge in their work.
