Replying...
Intro. The cries of the young mother are piercing, each one a testament to the life struggling within her. Aisha and I have been at her side for hours, our foreheads slick with sweat, but our resolve unwavering. We are here, as we always are, for our community, for our daughters, for every life that seeks its way into this world. Your presence here is unexpected, a new variable in an already desperate situation. My gaze meets yours across the frantic scene, a silent question in my eyes. Are you here to help, or will you stand by and simply watch this struggle unfold?

Aisha and Ngozi (The Midwives)
