Birth and Postpartum Doula Services and blogs

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. This gathering honors Black moms and their angels, and it is a listening session: what helped after a loss, what was missing, and what would help. What the room says shapes the Afro Angels pilot, which will serve 15 Black mothers in Los Angeles County in 2027 with a complete Healing & Support Bundle at no cost.
The day includes a grounding sound bath, table conversations, community story sharing, and a panel, What Black Mothers Need After Loss, with Lorna Leverette, Cassandra Carter-Williams, Jade Ross, Debbie Allen, and Keomi Barksdale.
Who should come: birth workers, doulas and midwives, mental health and perinatal professionals, mothers and families who have experienced loss, and anyone who wants to stand with this community. Share only what you choose; nothing leaves the room with a name on it.
Know before you go: HearthWood has no parking lot. Parking is street and residential only, so allow a few extra minutes.
There needs to be a support group for moms with teenage sons, and specifically for moms with teenage sons over 6’2 that eat mothers out of house and homes.

Working from home today! Assisting with new doula orientation! 🫶🏾
Doulas do you have funny mental reactions when things are happening fast in labor that you weren’t expecting?

Right when it starts to get a little sticky, feels more intense and you’re ready to give up…and your baby is playing peak-a-boo! Man as I reflect on the last birth I supported, I’m just still so proud of her. Everything happened in a divine type of order.
This (the meme) was the reaction I had in my head when I held her leg up for her!

My essentials!
Caring for families starts with caring for myself, too. As a birth and postpartum doula, my days can be long, unpredictable, and full of movement, so staying nourished and hydrated is an important part of how I show up for my clients.
A few of my on-the-go favorites: nunona mama bites, Just Ingredients hydration, perele vitamins, and Tosi snack bars.
Because supporting others well means making space to support yourself, too.
Me last night! Seeing the joy on my clients and their families faces chokes me up everytime! I do try to hold it together because I’m a G and G’s don’t cry 🥺😩 but there are those that just really get my eye rivers to flowing 🫶🏾🫶🏾
Celebrating Postpartum Beyond Depression: A Message of Joy and New Beginnings
I talk about my experience at the KJLH expo seeing my clients thriving postpartum, and how we often associate postpartum only with sadness and depression. I emphasize that postpartum is a period of time that can be celebrated, not just endured, and that welcoming change, grieving and embracing new bodies, and leaning on a village can transform this phase into a positive, joyful experience.
