A Love Letter to My Village
To every mother who has invited me into her birth story…
To every father who has allowed me to support his partner…
To every grandmother, sister, auntie, and friend who has welcomed me into sacred space…
Thank you.
Thank you for trusting my hands.
Thank you for trusting my voice.
Thank you for trusting my presence.
There are moments in labor that are unseen by the world … the quiet tears, the whispered prayers, the “I don’t know if I can do this” and I get to stand in that space and say, “Yes, you can.”
I have wiped so many tears, not only from your faces… but my own. So many believe my job is easy, but they have no idea of the cost. The systems I am fighting to improve. The stories I hold close about each family. The strain. The time it took to even be taken seriously in this industry. The endurance it takes to be misunderstood….
So much shows up in our work together. I have learned so much from all of you. None of it is really planned. I KNOW this is my calling from God. It just happens that way.
That is not something I take lightly.
This work stretches me. It grows me. It humbles me. It reminds me that purpose is not glamorous, it is consistent. It is obedient. It is service.
To those who support my journey: whether you book me, share my posts, pray for me, or simply speak my name in rooms I’m not in — you are part of this village too.
We are doing something bigger than business.
We are restoring dignity to mothers.
We are protecting families.
We are rewriting narratives.
We are building legacy.
And I am so grateful you’re here. Thank you.
Sincerely,
The Village Doula 🤍
