As Black midwives, Midwife Leslie & Midwife Lavondria don’t just show up—we stand in the gap.
In Texas, Black women are 2.5x more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes, and the truth is… most of these deaths are preventable.
So when we say we advocate, we mean:
✨ Listening when others don’t
✨ Educating when the system falls short
✨ Holding space, protecting, and empowering our mamas every step of the way
We are committed to changing outcomes, rewriting stories, and making sure Black women are seen, heard, and safely held through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
This is more than birth work—this is life-saving work.
