Los Angeles and San Francisco, we’ve got something special coming your way.

We’re bringing Allowed to Birth: The Journey of a Global Midwife to both cities this fall, and in LA, we’re pairing it with Deliver Us for a special double-feature screening.

These are two very different films, but both open up important conversations about birth, the people who care for us, and what’s possible when we imagine doing things differently.

And we don’t want the conversation to end when the credits roll.

We’ll be gathering with filmmakers, thought leaders, and community members to watch, reflect, ask questions, and connect over something that touches all of us: how we enter the world.

Even better? It’s for a great cause. For over four decades, Californians for the Advancement of Midwifery (CAM) has been working to advance midwifery across California. These benefit screenings are a chance to celebrate how far we’ve come, bring new voices into the conversation, and help shape what comes next.

Here’s where to join us:

LOS ANGELES · November 19
Allowed to Birth + Deliver Us
The Culver Theater, Culver City
Tickets available now!

SAN FRANCISCO · December 2
Allowed to Birth
BATS Bayfront Theater
Tickets coming soon!

You don’t have to be a midwife or work in maternal health to be part of this conversation. Bring a friend, come curious, and let’s see where these stories take us.

LA tickets at the link in our bio. We can’t wait to see you there.

Have you heard of the “Mothers of Gynecology”?

They were Black women whose bodies were used as mules of medicine, and Michelle Browder used her art to bring awareness to the medical abuse of Anarcha, Betsy, Lucy and other unnamed Black women that have been forgotten in the history of birthing in this country and the world.

Bring Deliver Us to your community by requesting a screening on our website ( in bio).

Tonight’s LA premiere of Deliver Us is officially SOLD OUT and I couldn’t be more grateful to be moderating this powerful conversation. Thank you for trusting me with your project and giving me the opportunity @makingmovesmatthews @discojen79 @hoodstimatic

This film is bigger than a screening. It’s about honoring Black midwives, transforming birth, and building equity in real time. The energy in this room is going to be something special.

If you didn’t get a ticket, don’t worry. This is just the beginning. Make sure you follow @deliverusdoc for updates on upcoming screenings and ways to experience this incredible film.

Huge congratulations to the entire team and partners @kindredspacela for bringing this to life. Your work matters and tonight is proof.

See you next time ✨
