On this , we want to take a moment to celebrate Dr. Michelle Drew, DNP, MPH, CNM, FACNM, founder and and executive director of Ubuntu Black Family Wellness.

Dr. Drew, Mama or Auntie to those who love her, is a double board certified midwife and nurse practitioner with 3 decades of service and experience to mothers of color in the United States and on 3 continents.

She has attended over 3,000 births close to 1,000 of those to Delaware moms, with never a maternal or fetal loss in labor, birth or the postpartum period.

A local graduate of Delaware Technical Community College with an associates degree in nursing, she went on to earn her Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degrees in nursing AND a master’s degree in public health from Tulane University all while working full time and parenting.

She has conducted community based and laboratory research on optimal birth outcomes for Black mothers through appropriate provision of holistic care that encompasses not only the midwifery model of care, but addresses the social and structural determinants of health.

As the founder of Ubuntu, Mama Michelle collaborated with Sis Teresa Muhammad and JanayAlise Muhammad to start the first Community Doula project in Delaware that provided hands on expert doula care to Black mothers at no cost who identified as Black and had Medicaid or an income of less than 200% of the federal poverty level and and a rate that paid doulas a fair self determined rate with increases for cost of living over time.

Today Ubuntu hosts reproductive health services, a food pantry, community closet, a pharmacy, diaper bank and community garden, under her guidance and leadership.

As proprietor of WombWise Midwifery Care, Dr. Drew offers holistic, culturally centered homebirth care to Black families in Delaware at an affordable cost, while still advocating for insurance coverage for homebirth in Delaware, something out of reach of most families in Delaware today.

Thank you for your continued commitment Mama Michelle, here’s to another 3 decades of love to your mamas and their families.
