Empowered Birth: Reducing Black Maternal Mortality Through Doula Care

Welcome to Empowered Birth, a transformative online course dedicated to addressing the Black maternal health crisis through the power of doula support. Black women in the U.S. face disproportionately high maternal mortality rates, often due to systemic barriers, racial disparities in healthcare, and a lack of adequate support during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. As doulas, we have the unique opportunity to advocate for, educate, and empower Black-birthing individuals by ensuring they receive respectful, informed, and compassionate care. This workshop is designed to equip doulas and expecting mothers with the knowledge, tools, and strategies needed to support Black mothers in navigating the birthing process safely and confidently. We recognize that not everyone can afford a doula. That's why this workshop is designed to equip you, your partner, and your support system with the knowledge and confidence needed to advocate for your rights, make informed decisions, and navigate the birthing process safely. Together we are part of the solution. Uplifting, protecting, and empowering Black women to experience birth with dignity, autonomy, and optimal outcomes. Let's learn, connect, and take action to create lasting change in Black maternal health.
