🖤 BLACK MATERNAL HEALTH WEEK 🖤

There is a certain kind of strength that lives in a Black mother.
The kind that shows up even when she’s not fully seen.
The kind that pushes through systems that don’t always protect her.
The kind that births life while carrying the weight of being unheard, overlooked, and underestimated.

These images tell a story too many know—
hands gripping, bodies enduring, hearts pushing through more than just labor.

Because for Black women, it’s not just about giving birth…
it’s about navigating stigma, fighting to be believed, and surviving a system that hasn’t always been built with us in mind.

And still… we rise.
We birth.
We love.
We endure.

As a student midwife, monitrice, and doula, I don’t take that lightly.
I advocate harder. I listen deeper. I show up fuller.
Because Black mothers deserve safety, respect, and to be centered in their own birth story.

This week—and every week—we speak it loud:

Black mothers deserve better. And we will be part of that change.

🤎 BLACK MATERNAL HEALTH WEEK 🤎
April 11–17

Protecting. Advocating. Empowering Black Birth.

1. The Crisis is Real — and Preventable
• Black women are over three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than White women.
• The CDC reports most of these deaths are preventable with proper care, attention, and resources.
• This is not about individual health choices — it’s about systemic inequities in how care is delivered, listened to, and respected.

2. Listening and Advocacy Save Lives
• Black birthing people are less likely to have their pain believed or concerns addressed.
• Having support — like doulas, midwives, and community advocates — improves outcomes.
• Respectful, culturally competent care isn’t optional — it’s lifesaving.

3. Joy, Resilience, and Community are Central
• Black Maternal Health Week isn’t only about mourning — it’s also about celebrating strength, tradition, and birth as a source of power and joy.
• Building community networks of support — from pregnancy through postpartum — is critical for both physical and emotional health.
• We honor Black mothers and babies by fighting for safe, dignified, and affirming birth experiences every day of the year.

4 years of Hart of a Nanny 🥹🤍
like… FOUR. wow.

• 9 families trusted me with their babies & their homes 🫶🏾
• Hired 4 nannies (still crazy to say that out loud)
• AND traveled with 3 families… TWICE in one year. ✈️

This really started out as a jokey joke… and turned into something so real.
The love, the trust, the relationships?? UNmatched. 😮‍💨

Forever grateful for every family that chose me and continues to choose us.
Y’all really be letting me love on your babies like they mine. And best believe, I don’t play about them either. 🥹

Cheers to 4 years… 💫

Happy Black Doula Day 🤍✨

To be a doula is to hold space, to nurture, to advocate, and to walk alongside families in some of their most sacred moments. From pregnancy to postpartum, every heartbeat of this work is rooted in love, trust, and community.

I don’t take it lightly that families allow me into such intimate spaces—supporting, comforting, and empowering them every step of the way. This is more than a service… it’s purpose.

Cheers to every doula doing this heart work. You are seen, you are needed, and you are appreciated 💕

Doula Bay: Twin Magic 🤍✨

Some births stay with you forever… and this one? Locked in my heart for life. 🥹🔐

Full-circle moment: supporting this incredible mama again just two years later. A repeat client is always an honor, but this one was extra special.

Twins. Boy and girl. Two completely different energies from the start.

And my first breech birth I’ve ever witnessed… with zero cesarean coercion. Just trust, informed choices, and a mama who knew her body.

🩵 Baby boy? Doing the absolute MOST 😂
Just as active on the outside as he was on the inside. He made sure we all felt his presence.

🩷 Baby girl? Calm, unbothered, just vibing. Came peacefully in her own time.

And mama… Mama Bear showed OUT. Again.
Strong, grounded, in tune with her body. She brought both her babies earthside like it was second nature.

And the placentas? Absolutely beautiful.
They had fused together. In the shape of a heart. It was truly a sight to see. Two babies, one shared space all along.

I couldn’t be prouder. Moments like this remind me exactly why I do this work.

Welcome to the world, Doula Babies #56 & #57 🤍✨

April is C-Section Awareness Month 💕
And today, we honor every mama who brought life into this world through a cesarean birth. A C-section is not the “easy way out”… it’s still birth. It’s still strength. It’s still motherhood.

As a doula, I’m PROUD to support C-section mamas because my support doesn’t pick and choose. Whether your birth was vaginal, medicated, unmedicated, planned or unplanned… you deserve to be heard, cared for, advocated for, and celebrated. 🫶🏽✨

Your scar is not something to hide… it’s proof of love and sacrifice.

To every C-section mama: you are seen. You are strong. You are worthy. 💗

This Mama Bear was hoping and praying for a vaginal birth, trusting her body and holding onto that vision with so much intention. But as she approached 42 weeks, and with no signs of labor beginning on its own, the hospital she was delivering at did not practice beyond that point.

And sometimes—no matter how much we prepare, research, advocate, and do everything right—our bodies have other plans.

Baby girl made her entrance into the world via cesarean, and let me tell you… she is absolutely adorable. Strong, perfect, and already so deeply loved.

This birth is a reminder that a cesarean is not a failure. Mama Bear did nothing wrong. She listened, she advocated, she trusted the information given, and she made the best decision for herself and her baby in that moment. That is strength.

My support never wavered—not before, not during, and not after. Because being a doula means standing firmly beside my clients through every kind of birth, honoring their hopes while also honoring reality with compassion and care.

✨ Welcome to the world, Doula Baby #51. ✨
You came exactly how you needed to—and your mama is incredible.

7 shades. 1 calling. 🤎✨

In honor of World Doula Week, I’m reflecting on what it really means to be a doula… because it’s never just ONE thing.

I am the educator: 📚 pouring knowledge so you can walk into birth informed, not intimidated.
I am the advocate: 🫡 helping you find your voice and reminding you that your choices matter.
I am the nurturer: 🫶🏾 offering softness, comfort, and steady presence in the most vulnerable moments.
I am the protector: 😤 guarding your space, your peace, and your experience.
I am the guide: 🗺️ walking beside you, never in front of you.
I am the witness: 🫂 holding space for your strength, your tears, your transformation.
I am the community: ♥️ because support doesn’t end at birth… it grows with you.

This work is layered. It’s sacred. It’s heart work.
And every “shade” exists to serve you.

Your birth. Your body. Your story.
I’m just here to support it. 🤎
