Can you imagine giving birth in a war zone? I certainly can't, my births were all very calm and relatively stress free.
I felt honoured to be trusted with this story shared by a mother originally from Syria, now living in Wakefield. Despite a sad and horrific start to her daughter's life, her children are now thriving and finally she is taking back some time for herself and making friends. The title ‘My Friend’ and the chorus of the song were inspired by my overwhelming feeling that even though we come from different backgrounds, I consider this woman to be a friend.
This project, Our Voices Heard, funded by a Culture Grant from Wakefield Council tells the stories of real women's lived experiences through song. You can watch all the videos at the Go Pop CIC YouTube channel.
