At The Assemblage: Birth Workers, we made room for something a little different. An intimate conversation that went beyond titles, credentials, and professional introductions. We talked about the things that go unseen, the questions that don't have a place in the workplace, the weight birth workers carry, and what it means to care for others while needing care ourselves.
This wasn't your typical professional mixer. Nobody needed to pitch themselves. Nobody needed to turn their purpose into a polished elevator speech. We got to be people first. And that made all the difference.
Thank you to everyone who pulled up, shared something of themselves, listened generously, and helped make the room what it was. You reminded us that sometimes the most meaningful connections happen when we start knowing one another.
And if you're tired of going to events where the first question is always “So, what do you do?” stay connected to The Assemblage of NEFER. We're making room for conversations that go deeper than your job title, your business card, or what you can do for somebody else.
