In this episode Melissa and Katherine discuss how Katherine hesitated in using the word woman in one of our previous episodes.
We ask ourselves:
* Why did we feel the desire to speak on this topic?
* How can we be inclusive while proclaiming our womanhood?
* Is it safe to always be inclusive?
* Can we claim this space was created just for women?
We acknowledge that we may offend some folks who tune in to this conversation, please know with all sincerity our intention was not to hurt anyone. We must advise however that moving forward, regardless of the controversy, we will be unabashedly bold in saying the word WOMAN.
Katherine recognizes that when working some birthing families, using the word woman can be exclusive. Katherine does want to note that in her birth education and materials etc. she is inclusive with her language.
