The Power of Storytelling — Welcome to Positive Birth Corner

Welcome to the very first episode of Positive Birth Corner! 🎉 I’m your host, MaryNissi — doula, childbirth educator, lactation consultant, and mentor — and I’m so excited to begin this journey with you.

In this debut episode, I share why storytelling is at the heart of everything we’ll do here. Growing up in Malawi, I was surrounded by powerful oral traditions that shaped how I understand connection, healing, and hope. Now, I’m bringing that same storytelling spirit into the world of birth.

You’ll hear about: ✨ Why positive birth stories matter now more than ever. ✨ My journey as a Black immigrant, doula, and birth educator. ✨ The role I play on my city’s Maternal Mortality Review Committee — and why this podcast is meant to be a space of hope and resilience. ✨ The mission of Positive Birth Corner: changing the narrative of birth through encouragement, empowerment, and community. ✨ What you can expect from future episodes — real, diverse, powerful birth stories that uplift and transform.

This space is for you — whether you’re pregnant, planning to be, a birth worker, or simply someone who cares about birth equity and positive change. Each week, you’ll hear stories from families and birth workers around the world that remind us that positive birth is possible.

👉 Hit subscribe, share this episode with a friend or community group, and join us every Wednesday as we drop a new story that will inspire and empower your journey.

This episode is brought to you by Coco Life, an amazing organization supporting Black maternal wellness, and Everybody Advocacy, a platform advancing birth equity and reproductive justice.
