Join us for Sacred Births: The Role of Doulas in Black Maternal Health, a powerful two-part convening designed to educate, empower, and inspire action around Black maternal health and birth equity.

This free conference brings together expecting mothers, new parents, families, students, doulas, alumni of the doula programs (2021–2025), community members, and leaders across corporate, nonprofit, and policy sectors for meaningful dialogue, education, and advocacy.

The convening highlights the critical role doulas play in improving maternal health outcomes while centering lived experience, culturally grounded care, and community-informed solutions. A featured component of the program is the Community-Based Doula Training launched at MEC in 2020 with support and funding from the Mayor’s Office.

Participants will gain:

• Comprehensive education on pregnancy, postpartum care, and maternal wellness

• Increased awareness of doula services and non-clinical support systems

• Direct access to trained doulas and trusted community resources

• Insight into equity-driven approaches that advance dignity, advocacy, and holistic maternal care

The event structure intentionally creates space for both community education and systems-level engagement, ensuring shared learning, collective impact, and sustainable change.
