Central Delaware Community Doula Program

Today was an honor as I presented to the Delaware Coalition Against Domestic Violence Board about domestic violence&health equity alongside Erin who is an amazing contributor to maternal health equity!

Not surprised! We’re working to decrease disparities while operating with limited funding! We get way more no’s than yes.

I used to attribute it to my grant writing capabilities but we now have two professional grant writers and we still see so many rejections.

I think it’s the words BLACK, BROWN, and WOMEN that makes them quickly turn their head and go on to the next proposal.

What will be will be but I mention this frequently because funders need to be held accountable and the community needs to know that we’re fighting to get resources for you relentlessly.

Delaware Birth and Postpartum Doulas and Perinatal Educators Central Delaware Community Doulas and Perinatal Educators provide grant-funded doula support and host community events to spread awareness and help to decrease black maternal health disparities within our state.

Thank you to Nneka Hall for presenting her Pregnancy and Infant Loss training to our Central Delaware Community Doula and Perinatal Educator Program team this weekend. Shout out to our crew for tapping in and completing this certification. Often people only consider the glorified parts of birth work while missing the aspects of loss. My goal is to ensure that our Doulas are prepared all around. June and July doula development is going to be so insightful. We don’t just train and go we keep learning intentionally. Be blessed everyone!

I love what I do!!! Tabling a community baby shower for Amerihealth members! ❤️❤️❤️ Shout out to Gabi Aleyse for holding down the center with Doula Development.

Just because people are in need that doesn’t mean that they should receive the bare minimum or anything less than! My goal is to serve the community with the best. So when you show up to pantry you’ll get things I’d eat, diapers I’d use, period supplies I’d wear. When you train and develop as a Doula you’ll get the education and support I wish I had and more. When I’m serving in any capacity you’ll get the treatment I’d expect to get and all I ask is that you return the positive energy. Be kind,be respectful in short just be nice!
