Gratitude 🙏🏾, I am blessed to serve birthing persons and particularly to be a BIPOC doula.
As I evolve personally and professionally I am stepping outside of myself, my comfort zone, my fear of public speaking, social anxiety. I challenge myself and take baby steps to become more aligned with my purpose and passion- Birth work! The journey continues…

Thank you to Tiffany Cusaac for your interview and featuring me in your article . You brought much needed light to the importance of Black maternal health and the work of Black doulas on Long Island.

🍼Too small👉🏾ni**le is rubbing tight against fl**ge when suction is on.

Baby carrying has been around for thousands of years worldwide 🌎 for a reason. It’s beneficial to both the caregiver and the baby! 👶🏼👶🏽👶🏻👶🏾

Below ⬇️ are some tips:

T — Tight. The sling or carrier you use should be tight enough to keep your baby close to you.
I — In view at all times. You should be able to see your baby's face by glancing down and without having to move the fabric.
C — Close enough to kiss. Your baby's head should be as close to your chin as possible.
K — Keep chin off chest. You should be able to fit at least a finger between your baby's chin and chest.
S — Supported back. Your baby's back should be supported so that they are not slumped or curled into a C shape.
