Step into the extraordinary journey of one woman's calling to become a midwife—and witness the lives of the remarkable women who forever transformed her along the way.


Journey to Birth is the deeply personal memoir of Sakina O'Uhuru, RN, CNM, MS, a Certified Nurse Midwife, educator, birth justice advocate, and founder of A Wombman's Way Warrior Midwife Training Program (AWWWMT). More than a memoir, this book is a love letter to community birth, ancestral wisdom, resilience, and the sacred relationship between midwives and the families they serve.


Through candid storytelling, Sakina reflects on her early years as an emerging Warrior Midwife, sharing the triumphs, challenges, heartbreaks, and life-changing lessons that shaped her path. Woven throughout the pages are unforgettable stories of the courageous women—the "heroic wombmen"—whose strength, vulnerability, and determination forever influenced her understanding of birth, healing, and humanity.


This beautifully written paperback is ideal for:


* Midwives, doulas, nurses, and birth workers

* Midwifery students and aspiring birth professionals

* Parents, families, and birth advocates

* Anyone inspired by stories of resilience, purpose, and social change


What makes this memoir truly special is its authenticity. It offers a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the making of a community midwife while illuminating the joys, complexities, and profound responsibility of walking alongside families during one of life's most transformative moments. It is both a personal story and a testament to the enduring power of compassionate, community-centered maternity care.
