I'm Interested In The Upcoming Cohort!

B.I.R.T.H. Cohorts are comprised of between 10 - 12 women who represent a variety of ages, identities, ethnicities, and cultures.  Because our collective work as women is layered and complex, once a Cohort is established, those women will remain together to build trust, hold space for and with each other as we stick our toes in the shallow end of the societal pool and gradually find ourselves swimming confidently in the deep end - peeling back the layers, strengthening our voices, and standing boldly, and unapologetically in our truths.
