Musings of a Black Doula provides a view into the life of a 30something Black woman who makes her living serving families, and has built a business helping families of color have empowered births at a time when Black mothers are confronted with terrifying statistics everywhere they turn.
What should Black families really expect when giving birth in the hospital? How do I find a doctor, midwife, doula or lactation consultant I can trust? Is wanting an epidural enough of a birth plan? What should I actually expect postpartum? Is postpartum depression common for Black women? How can I get through pregnancy, birth and raising a newborn without completely losing myself? Is it possible to have a birth that’s not traumatic as a Black woman? How can I advocate for myself in labor? Is breastfeeding really that hard? How do I practice self care as a new mom? What is it really like to be a doula?
