Sabia The Black Doula

Sabia The Black Doula I am a Radical Doula, Educator, Coach, Reproductive Justice Advocate & the founder of For The Village

My name is Sabia Wade and I am a Full Spectrum Doula, as well as a Reiki II Practitioner. I am currently living in San Diego, CA and I am open to assisting births in San Diego County. I am also open to assisting with births outside of San Diego County, if my travel expenses are accommodated. I am currently training under Birth Arts International and my experience began with The Prison Birth Project, located in Massachusetts, where I served incarcerated parents and parents on drug maintenance medications. From there, I have been able to work with many different parents, including military and teen parents. I believe in empowering birthing parents in their birth of choice but also preparing them and supporting them for the known and unknown. I love working with all families, regardless of race, economic status, gender, sexuality or culture.

Today I bought my momma a house! If you know about my mom then you know I’ll give her the world plus more. I’m still wrapping my head around all of this because I remember when I couldn’t fathom any of this. I just remember quitting my job in 2018 and committing to Justice, community and living a life that allowed me to live in all my fullness. The blessings that has come from that commitment continue to leave me in awe, leave me in praise and leave me in humility. I’m gonna be taking this one in for a while and hopefully come up with more words that make sense lol… Nana, I hope you’re proud 💛

Got back to my rural town of 1200 people last night at 2am from San Diego because my Aunt Clara said I can’t miss homecoming at our family church. The occasion called for orange and an open heart so that’s what I brought 💛

My great-great-great grandparents sat in the pews of this church. My great-great grandparents, my great grandma, my grandma, my mother and now, me.

Today’s sermon included conversations about our current political times, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and what it means to be Black in America.

I’m not religious but my spirituality includes the paths of my elders and ancestors. In Black rural communities, the church is where we father. We claps for each other’s wins and hold each other in our tears.

And after church, we found out our neighbor had taken in the dog we’d been feeding and was ready to take in but he never came back. He’s so happy and healthy now!🥰

I’ve always carried some imposter syndrome in this work—committed to reproductive justice, building businesses without formal education, and learning in real time.

But stepping into this new role as Strategic Advisor with reminds me that lived experience, community wisdom, and vision are just as valuable as credentials.

My path hasn’t been traditional—and that’s the point. Reimagining how capital flows, how we build businesses, and how we center care requires voices that have walked outside the “traditional” lanes.

This role feels deeply meaningful because it’s proof that our lived knowledge is enough. 💛

Got the deed back today. Officially the owner of another slice of my great great grandparents land. Next up, building my momma’s home! It’s been a rough two months with the loss of my great grandma aka NANA but this feels like a gift from her and my family. I’m so grateful 💛

These last two months have been quite the doozy! Death, grief, depression, hope, love, joy all circling in my body some times one at a time and sometimes all at once. Sometimes I’m able to get a bunch done, other times I’m dissociating to heavily to do much or I’m experiencing a deep autistic shut down from everything feeling like way too much. There’s good days like today though! I worked out, I ate, I hydrated, I talked to my mom and my friends, I did some work and came home with a Squishmallow farm. Building memories in this new home while having a partner who is willing to do the work AND understand the specifics of my brain under so much stress and sadness is a gift 💛

I recently spoke with the National Doula Certification Board to discuss their objectives and offer constructive feedback. While I’m not sharing the full details of our conversation at this time, I’ve requested to continue the dialogue in collaboration with diverse leaders in the birth work community. I’ll share updates as they become available.
