Doula Doula Birth Services

I’m getting a lot of heat and I expect it. Keep it coming.....I can take it. I am not bashing doulas. Well a few but that’s neither here nor there. I’m saying.... THESE are the people who chose that word to describe someone that looks like ME. Okay predictable but then you better make sure that word STANDS for something! Make sure it’s more than getting the word added to the dictionary (literally, something they’re quite proud of).... @donaintl missing the point again. #dona #donainternational #newdoula #doula #birthworker #blackmaternalhealth #burnitdown See more

As I’ve fallen into the bleak rabbit hole of unearthing the problematic cornerstones of the work I love, I’ve been left with so many questions! It seems....quite judgmental if you ask me to be an organization that’s made money by empowering women unless you’re having an abortion? Unless DONA is not being transparent about their stance on this....pretty significant topic. ... Of course, if any @donaintl certified doulas or members can clarify this for me that’s always welcome too!! #donewithdona #decolonizebirth #dona #donainternational #doula #newdoula #doulasupport #abortion #fullspectrum #burnitdown See more

Yeah....I mean I’m not the hugest fan of rules and being told what to do (shocking I know) but ESPECIALLY when they’re not really working out so hot #donewithdona #decolonizebirth #dona #doula #donadoula #scopefromwhosview?... #burnitdown @donaintl See more

Here’s the thing.... There are already people doing the work! The REAL work that could make an impact. I’m friends with many and watch and help with the mountains of paperwork, always trying to find a way to stay afloat for one more month...the emotional labor alone. But at the end of the day DONA is what most people associate with a doula, it’s what comes up when you search for anything doula related. More so in certain parts of the country I’m sure. It’s a beast that must... be taken down if we are to survive. @donaintl let me introduce you to a whole new level of standard when you take a look @birthingadvocacy #donewithdona #866labirth #donainternational #birthadvocacy #birthmonopoly #decolonizebirth #burnitdown See more
