Amaryah (they/he) is a tboy of Black and Ashkenazi (white) ancestry who grew up in Coast Salish, Duwamish, and Puyallup/Swiftwater lands, surrounded by the seas, lakes, forests and mountains. Babies have always been their favorite people, and they are RaRa to many littles. They started their birthwork/lifewerq practice and involvement with Lifewerq Project in 2018, and view birthwork as community care, and a window into the shift towards a greater reliance on community and towards liberation as we navigate pandemic(s), ongoing genocides and climate crises. Alongside birthwork/lifewerq, Amaryah works in carpentry and loves spending time with the land and their family.
