The Counseling Midwife

Today my guest is Omisade Burney-Scott, who is a Black southern 7th generation native North Carolinian feminist, mother and healer with decades of experience in nonprofit leadership, philanthrophy, and social justice. She is a founding tribe member of SpiritHouse and previously served as a board member of The Beautiful Project, Village of Wisdom, and Working Films.

She is a graduate of UNC-Chapel Hill, the proud mother of two sons, and resides in Durham. Happy Full Moon in Sagittarius and Lunar Eclipse!!!

In true Philadelphian fashion imagine this podcast was being recorded on a front porch during the sunniest first day in 2021 and you will understand the background noise 😂. We will be discussing the struggling Black parent vs. the Thriving Black Parent with Jabina Coleman-LSW, IBCLC in Philadelphia, PA. Thank you again for jumping on a podcast with me at the last minute sis! 😘
