Victoria Vega, a yoga instructor and doula, shares her journey into birth work and the importance of addressing generational trauma. As a lesbian, Victoria discusses her decision not to have children but expresses a desire to experience childbirth as a surrogate, highlighting that the desire to carry and the desire to parent can exist independently. This perspective adds a refreshing dimension to the broader narrative about what constitutes a queer family. She emphasizes the significance of chosen family and the support she provides to BIPOC and queer communities. Victoria's work focuses on helping individuals navigate their fears and traumas surrounding pregnancy and birth.
Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions that challenge conventional narratives and celebrate the beautiful diversity of queer families.
