    Birth Support Is a Right: Bridging the Gap with Doulas

    What would it look like if every Black mama who wanted a doula could have one? In this episode of Plugged In: The Green Book for Black Mamas, I’m joined by Ebonie Bailey of The Birthwork Foundation to talk about the power of doula support and the gaps that keep too many families from accessing it. We get into what birthworkers need to do this work sustainably and why investing in them is an investment in Black families. Because birth support should be a right, not a privilege.
