Let's Talk Health Equity: Doulas, Maternal Health Advocacy & Creating Space for Change Reede Scholars Live

Join us on an inspiring journey as Dr. Mary Fleming hosts the dynamic duo, Kelajah and Candace Shepard, on Reede Scholars Live. Kelajah, a former soldier turned entrepreneur, discovered his passion for entrepreneurship and doula work after the joyful news of expecting their rainbow baby in 2020. This transformative experience prompted Kelajah to embark on a mission to fill the gap in childbirth education and support in Mississippi.

Candace, a proud graduate and Naval Officer, found herself at a crossroads in 2020, leading her back to Mississippi with a newfound purpose. In 2022, she founded "Be Well," an herbal apothecary, and together with Kelajah, they became invaluable fertility, miscarriage, birth, and postpartum doulas.

On Reede Scholars Live, we delve into their remarkable journey, discussing Kelajah's "Better Father Figure" workshop and Candace's mission to address maternal and infant mortality rates in Mississippi. Through heartfelt conversations, education, and compassionate care, they empower families with the knowledge and support they rightfully deserve.
