⚠️ Persistent sadness or hopelessness
⚠️ Difficulty bonding with the baby
⚠️ Increased anger or frustration
⚠️ Social withdrawal
Support is not a weakness—it's a necessity! Let’s break the stigma and ensure our mothers get the care they deserve. 💪🏾💖

A Personal Journey into Birth Work

From witnessing birth stories in her own family to becoming a certified doula at 16, Jess Kimball’s journey into birth work was deeply personal. Her passion for maternal health led her to explore perinatal mental health and racial disparities in care. Now, as a finance leader, she’s ensuring Black maternal health organizations receive the funding they deserve. 💜

Every birth story matters, and every mother deserves to feel confident and heard. At Circle of Life, we provide critical care to ensure our clients feel safe, supported, and in control of their birth experience.

Why does this matter?

✨ Birth experiences impact mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
✨ Feeling supported during labor leads to better birth outcomes.
✨ Black maternal mortality rates decrease when mothers have trusted advocates by their side.

💜 You deserve care that is culturally aligned, trauma-informed, and 100% dedicated to YOU. If you’re expecting and need guidance, let’s connect!

Imagine preparing for one of the most transformative experiences of your life—giving birth—and feeling like no one understands your lived experience.

❌ No one looks like you.
❌ No one understands your identity.
❌ No one knows what it’s like to navigate birth in a system that wasn’t built for you.

✨ This is why Quinna Blair's Doula for All exists. ✨
We see you. We honor you. We walk with you through this journey, providing support that is:
✅ Culturally aware
✅ Trauma-informed
✅ Affirming & judgment-free

You deserve a birth team that reflects your needs, your identity, and your experience. Let’s make birth safer and more empowering for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ families.

Restoring the Village Mentality
🏡 "It takes a village"—but where is the village?
Denise Silas emphasizes the importance of rebuilding family & community support for Black mothers. Extended families once played a vital role in prenatal & postpartum care—it’s time to bring that back!

Advocating for Systemic Change
🚨 Black Maternal Health Needs Policy Reform 🚨
Black mothers are 3-4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white mothers. Christina Seldon Jackson emphasizes that change starts NOW:
📢 "Policies don’t take full effect until nearly a decade later, and by then, it’s already too late."
📝 We need:
✔️ Increased funding for maternal healthcare
✔️ More Black mental health professionals
✔️ Early education on reproductive health
Advocacy saves lives—let’s push for real change!

🌸 Birth is Beauty, Not a Burden. 🌸

At Belle Femme, we believe every woman deserves to feel strong, supported, and beautiful throughout pregnancy and childbirth.

Lili was inspired to become a doula after witnessing too many women—especially in underserved communities—make difficult decisions because they lacked support.

In Haiti, birth safety is scarce, and many women do not receive the care they need. Belle Femme was created to change that reality, bringing education, love, and support to birthing people so they can experience childbirth as an empowering, beautiful moment.

✨ If you or someone you love is expecting, know that you deserve nurturing care that celebrates your strength and beauty.
