The Global STEM Birthways – Teen Midwifery Lab is an 8-session educational FREE pilot program designed to introduce youth ages 13–18 to maternal health, midwifery, reproductive justice, and community-based care through a culturally grounded STEM lens from March 14th to May 2nd of 2026 in Philadelphia, PA.

The Lab blends science, technology, hands-on learning, and global birth traditions to expose participants to real-world health pathways while centering equity, critical thinking, and collective care. Students will engage in interactive lessons, clinical skill-building simulations, discussions on humanized childbirth, and exploration of how culture, history, and community impact maternal and infant health outcomes.

This program is intentionally small and immersive, with only 12 available slots, to ensure meaningful mentorship, safety, and individualized support. Participants are expected to commit to all 8 Saturday sessions and to complete a final passion project that reflects their learning, creativity, and vision for community impact in reproductive justice. The Lab is ideal for youth who are curious, motivated, able to work independently and collaboratively, and interested in health, science, advocacy, or service-based careers. Enrollment is selective, and this application helps us identify students who are ready to engage thoughtfully, responsibly, and fully in this transformative learning experience.

Here is the application link-deadline by Feb. 28th: https://lnkd.in/eUQ4muMM.

Newest Black Midwife in Louisiana!!!

✨ Professional Announcement ✨

I am honored to share that I am now a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) and a Licensed Midwife in the state of Louisiana.
My journey began in 2012, when two huge things happened: I trained as a doula through ICTC, and I received a scholarship to begin my studies as a student midwife with Mercy in Action Distance Academy. At that time, I already had 2 children. Over the years, my family grew-- and today, I am the mother of five.
Like so many of us, my path was not linear. There were seasons of starting and stopping, pausing and returning; always with the goal still in sight.

What remained constant was my commitment to this work and my belief in the importance of midwifery, maternal health, and birth justice.

Today, I stand in this moment, having completed THIS PART of the journey — not because it was easy, but because I was consistent, determined, and rooted in purpose.

As I step forward into practice through Divine Birth Wisdom, my vision is an intimate, relationship-centered midwifery practice that honors family, rest, sustainability, and community accountability, while continuing my work as an advocate for maternal health and birth justice.
I am deeply committed to serving families in Opelousas and throughout St. Landry Parish with care that respects autonomy, safety, and cultural wisdom.

Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way. I am grateful AND ready. ✊🏿
