The Uptown Doula is a service for new and expecting moms as they prepare for childbirth. A series of three classes are offered targeting the expecting mother's MIND, BODY and SPIRIT. The goal of the classes offered is to provide a high quality service, which is convenient for even the busiest mom. Each session is designed to meet the individual needs of a mother based upon her specific interests. All that is asked of our mom's is that you open your heart and your door as we walk you through the stages of your pregnancy with ease. Listed below, you will find a brief description of each class, pricing and scheduling information. MIND - During this session, we will process the greatest concerns of your pregnancy to gain clarity and arrive at a place of comfort. The goal of this session is to provide support, ease tensions and evoke calmness as you prepare for a peaceful birthing experience. ($40)

BODY - Feel beautiful as you navigate through a process which will discover your body’s natural rhythms and optimum comfort. The goal of this session is for mothers to feel confident and comfortable as they prepare for their special day. ($40)

SPIRIT - Relax your mind and body as you unwind and allow yourself to just "be." This session is a mommy favorite, as no two sessions are alike! Moms are encouraged to customize their experience by choosing from an array of personalized services. ($45)

Check out my article in the October issue ANTIGRAVITY Magazine titled ‘Who Gets To Be A Child’. I’m talking about how society robs Black children of their childhoods prematurely and how so many of us are fighting to shift that reality for our own children.

Today felt like striped Girbaud outfits and Eastland boots.
Like pineapple monogram earrings.
Like a chain with my name on it.
It felt like DJs and car shows on the lake on Easter Sunday.
Like a fish plate with two pieces of cake.
Like a fresh pair of white G-Nikes.
Like sitting on the porch.
Like Daniel Green slippers.
Like pin curl ponytails and deep waves.
Like a beeper vibrating on your hip.
Like a ring on every finger.
Like Tommy Girl perfume.
Like flying kites at the Fly.
Like a St Aug Talent show.
Like Andrea’s beads on your nails.
Today felt like home.
If you can’t understand, it wasn’t meant for you.

Join me and a panel of amazing researchers, parents, lactation specialists and activists

Our goal for this conversation is to Inform parents and community members on safe practices for feeding and caring for infants and young children during natural disasters, public health crises, emergencies AND provide evidence based information, lived experience and storytelling to work towards the decolonization of wet nursing and or human milk feeding.

*This conversation centers human milk as the gold standard for feeding infants and young children, while understanding the challenge many parents face while nursing. In fact, we hope to bring light to these challenges and why they exist.

Had an amazing day with my sweet oldest kid who made me get out of the house tonight. You don’t have to be sad about your kids getting older-I enjoy this one more and more every year.

Grateful for our time in New York these past few days. In a city known for its fast pace of life, we found a rhythm that was slow-ish and allowed time to take deep breaths, sit in the sun and learn from Black sibs and joyful, free facilitation. Gathering with doulas from across the country to talk Doula reimbursement policies in our states and how we center liberation, authenticity to ourselves and center ancestral traditions without watering them down. I have big unpopular feelings about this and found a community that understood and held myself and others in getting past the moments when we want to say fu€ # this $ #!+ Big thanks to and for hosting. Also had a chance to spend time with my godbrother and get some pretty good street food. Onyx was a pretty cool travel buddy and I’m grateful for all the people who got me water, prepared my plate and smiled at my baby. Oh- and shout out to and for making airport navigation less sh*tty. 💕

It’s such an honor to be a member/owner of this amazing organization. I’ve learned so much about myself, and how to show up in radical support. The people who are a part of Birthmark are truly committed to Reproductive Justice work and are continuously working to learn more and reflect ti show up on better ways for the families we serve.
We offer all of our services at a sliding scale defying the cost by 100% for a vast majority. We provide birth and postpartum doula services, childbirth education, emergency preparedness kits and workshops, home visitation, in clinic lactation support, a competitive maternity leave, childcare subsidies, community outreach and advocacy at both the grassroots and state level.
