Episode 16 - Tara Johnson - Childbirth & Community

Nov 3

Today’s conversation with Tara shifts us away from bikes for a minute, but fear not, there’s still a lot of bike talk in here, because, as you know by now, I can’t shut up about bikes and bikes really are the answer to everything.

Tara Johnson shares her journey of founding Freedom Tree, a nonprofit organization focused on reducing maternal and infant mortality rates in Sierra Leone and Alberta. She discusses the importance of education, community involvement, and addressing cultural practices that affect women's health. Tara also reflects on the impact of colonialism on patriarchy and women's roles in society, emphasizing the need for collaboration between men and women in health initiatives. Tara also shares how her faith and love for biking have shaped her life and advocacy.
