This is the 10th Anniversary of Black Maternal Health Week.
Rooted in Justice & Joy" mean to me?
This week we've talked about the statistics. The barriers. The losses. But today I want to talk about the JOY. Because Black mamas deserve to feel excited, safe, and celebrated — not just warned. When I walk into a birth space with a client, I bring both: the knowledge of what she's up against AND the deep belief that her birth can be powerful, beautiful, and hers. That's what a doula does. That's what this week is about. 💜
