Womb Work Is World Building: What Beyoncé’s Renaissance Trilogy Teaches Us About Black Birth and Doula Magic
When Beyoncé releases an album, it’s never just music—it’s a portal. Each project from Renaissance to Black Is King to Cowboy Carter has mirrored what I see in birthwork every day: the reclamation of power, ancestral presence, and the soft yet ferocious act of choosing yourself. As a Black full-spectrum doula and therapist, I’ve witnessed how our births, losses, and transitions carry rhythms much like Bey’s own evolution: spiritual, layered, and Black as hell. This isn’t just about pop culture. It’s about what gets born in us when we remember who we are.
Bloodlines & Birthrights: Reclaiming the Sacred Through Birth
Birth is not just a beginning—it’s a return. In this reflection inspired by Ryan Coogler’s Sinners, I explore the connection between ancestral veneration, Black birthing experiences, and the sacred path of full-spectrum doula work. This is a short love letter to lineage, a reclamation of story, and a reminder that every birther carries more than a child—they carry a whole bloodline.
