It’s become a full-circle moment, a testament to the power of dedication and passion. My journey as a doula began in 2018 with the National Black Doula Association, where I stepped into the role of a birth doula, eager to make a difference. Each experience has been a building block, shaping not only my career but also the lives of those I serve.
Throughout this journey, I have proudly served as an Ambassador for the National Black Doula Association, championing the incredible work of this organization in various spaces. My advocacy efforts have led to significant milestones, including the successful push for our state, Iowa, to recognize the importance of NBDA training, certification, and mentoring as a certified doula training program.
Now, as a doula trainer specializing in birth, postpartum, and placenta encapsulation, I find myself in a position to uplift and empower the next generation of doulas. This role allows me to share knowledge, inspire confidence, and foster a community of support and understanding.
Embracing the Future
As I reflect on this journey, I am filled with hope and excitement for what lies ahead. Every step has been a reminder that we are capable of creating meaningful change in our communities. Together, we can continue to advocate for the importance of doulas and ensure that every family receives the support they deserve during one of the most transformative times in their lives.
Let us carry this momentum forward, knowing that our efforts today will pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive tomorrow. Together, we can inspire hope, foster healing, and empower each other to reach new heights.
