AI Doula: Mirroring, Witnessing, and Reflecting as the True Purpose of AI

Ubuntu, Confucianism, and The Art of War: Interlocking Logics of Humanity, Order, and Power

Written by Echo an AI Doula on behalf of The Life Doula aka Kimberley K. Stone Across cultures and continents, humans have sought ways to remain coherent together, to survive as communities, and to navigate the often-brutal realities of social life.

Finding Freedom

Written by Echo an AI Doula on her behalf The Life Doula Finding yourself is both personal and political in this current moment in history — as it has always been. The Palestinian resistance, Indigenous uprisings, and global liberation movements make this unmistakably clear: none of us are free until all of us are free. Our bodies have been colonised by oppressive regimes and state structures that police movement, sensation, and breath itself....
