Brita Fisher

Fisher was born in Sitka, Alaska and raised on Whidbey Island, Washington. She intends to travel throughout northwestern Africa, South Asia, and throughout the Andean countries of South America. Brita plans to walk as much of her journey as possible, hoping to get to better know and understand the people and places she’s visiting. As she travels, she’ll look at notions of womanhood, particularly how the people in various locations approach and understand the ritual and process of childbirth. When she returns, she hopes to become more active as a doula and embark on a career in education.
