 I'm here in Ontario and I am just starting my fourth and final year of the member free education program here and I am so excited to be sharing with you today my song that I wrote that was an assignment for my in my first year of the program that was supposed to be an artistic representation of a woman's experience of her birth that I had attended and I've been just so touched by how many people across the internet and around the world have identified with the emotions I was trying to convey and just really humbled reflecting on the universe that universality of the experience of birth for so many people so in honor of the International Day of the Midway I've just been reflecting on the reasons that I personally love midwifery and why I really treasure the opportunity to be stepping into my role as a midwife and there's so many but I really do keep coming back to just how grateful I always feel to be welcomed by families and by birthing people into their into their spaces during such a profound time and to be able to bear witness to the strength and the vulnerability and power and rawness of the experience that is birth I'm always so humbled to be sitting with people during this time and supporting families and I'm just yeah so much gratitude for all the midwives and the work they do and thank you so much for supporting my music and I hope you like this song thank you blessings
