We are a Community-based Doula organization filling the severe birth disparity gaps in the North Carolina maternity care system. Together we comprehensively address the complex dimensions of BIPOC maternal health status. We are a diverse group of certified and trained birth and postpartum doulas, medical professionals, maternity care advocates, community members, and researchers interested in direct efforts to support, advocate, and provide solutions for communities across the state to eliminate health disparities.

LOOKING AHEAD
A North Carolina where every family can thrive.
We envision a future where families are heard, mothers are respected, babies receive a healthy start, birth workers are valued, and communities have the knowledge and resources they need to thrive. A future where healthier beginnings are not determined by inequality. Together, we can move from disparity toward equity.
