Mohamed Kamara founded InovCares after losing his sister and aunt to preventable pregnancy-related complications, creating a virtual gynecology platform focused on closing gaps in maternal healthcare for women of color. The model emphasizes culturally competent care and system-level change to ensure patients are heard, supported, and properly treated.

Interesting….🧐

A condition that impacts millions of women is getting a new name.

Polycystic o***y syndrome, or PCOS, a reproductive hormone imbalance, will now be known as polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, or PMOS for short.

A global consensus calling for the name change was published Tuesday in The Lancet, based on input from more than 50 leading academic, clinical, and patient organizations, along with feedback from more than 14,000 women with the condition.

Experts say the old name was misleading, since it suggests ovarian cysts are the main issue when they are not actually a defining feature.

To all my beautiful clients — past, present, and the ones the universe is still lovingly nudging my way… 🛸
You grew an entire human. With your body. While the world kept spinning like nothing special was happening. Meanwhile, everything special was happening. 🙏🏽✨
Thank you for trusting me with the most sacred, raw, and holy moments of your life. Every birth room has left something on my soul — your strength, your prayers, your ancestors showing up right on time.
You didn’t just birth a baby. You birthed a whole new version of yourself. And I had a front row seat to the miracle. I don’t take that lightly — ever. 🎁
Forever grateful. Forever yours. 🧿🪬

Happy Mother’s Day to every woman who said “I can’t” — right before she did. 💐💫

From MotherLab:
Black Maternal Health Week (April 11–17) is a time to recognize the ongoing maternal health crisis affecting Black mothers in the United States and to uplift the work of communities, advocates, and health workers fighting for change. Black women in the U.S. are still significantly more likely to experience pregnancy-related complications and maternal death than white women. These inequities are driven by structural racism, gaps in care, and barriers within our health systems. This week is about centering Black voices, investing in community-based solutions, and supporting models of care that prioritize dignity, equity, and justice—like doulas, midwifery care, and community health programs. Healthy mothers mean healthy families and healthy communities. Black maternal health is a public health, human rights, and equity issue.

🌿Last night I had the honor of having a beautiful home cooked Ayurvedic meal at the home of my new birth clients! I was so excited to give this gorgeous gift to the Mother To Be before her birth — and my heart was so full. 🎁 🤲🏽❤️
They’re from Pakistan, and if you know anything about South Asian and Middle Eastern birth culture, you know — protection, intention, and spiritual covering are woven into EVERYTHING. 💫
The evil eye. 🧿 The Hamsa. 🪬 The Red String. ❤️ These aren’t just symbols, they are legacy. Passed down through grandmothers, whispered in prayers from the dear Aunties, pinned to new babies and new mothers alike. 📿
This Triple Protection pin carries the Hamsa for fortune and health, the Evil Eye to guard against harmful energy, and the Red String for blessings, happiness, and love. Love. Health. Luck. — exactly what every birthing family deserves.
One of the greatest gifts of this work is getting to sit inside worlds that are beautifully different from my own. Every family I support teaches me something. About ritual. About reverence. About what it means to welcome new life into a community that has been holding this wisdom for centuries.
I don’t just bring my training into the room — I bring curiosity, humility, and deep respect for what you and your ancestors already know. 🌍
That’s the Zen Doula difference. 🧘🏽‍♀️🍃✨🧑🏽‍🍼💕 🌎

⭐️ If your culture has a birth tradition that most people don’t know about — this is your moment to share it!👇🏽🌍

Tonight marks my last postpartum shift with one of the most beautiful families I’ve ever had the honor of serving. 🤍🙏🏽
Four months. That’s how long I’ve had the privilege of showing up for them — through the exhaustion, the uncertainty, the middle-of-the-night doubts, and the quiet, sacred moments that only new parents know.
I remember when holding their daughter for a bath felt terrifying to them. Tonight, they didn’t even need to think twice. They just… knew. Because they’ve become exactly the parents she needed them to be.
Watching two people find their footing, find each other, and find their confidence as a team — there are no words for how deeply that moves me. Every. Single. Time.
People ask me how I do this work and I always say the same thing: the families give more to me than I could ever give to them. This one especially. They reminded me why I answered this call to be a full spectrum doula🤍. They poured into me just by letting me pour into them.
The hardest part of this work will always be the goodbye. But a goodbye like this one — where they are fully ready, fully capable, and fully grounded — that’s not a loss. That’s the whole point. 💪🏽
To this sweet family: thank you for trusting me with the most tender season of your lives. You were a pure gift. I will carry you in my heart always.
And to my next family….the cutest little family from Australia 🦘🇦🇺I’m already grateful for you. ❤️ We’re going to have a blast!
