Every family-to-be deserves the support and guidance of a passionate and experienced birth ambassador. My mission as a doula is to empower families to speak up and be heard during one of the most sacred and precious times of their lives. I accomplish this by cultivating a peaceful, loving birth and postpartum experience through emotional, educational, and physical support. Additionally, I am a certified lactation consultant, certified nursing assistant, and studying midwife. I am currently working as a private doula supporting families across the Chicagoland area, both as the founder of the Chicago Black Doula Alliance and a board member of the Chicago Volunteer Doulas.
