In childbirth, systemic racism is the root cause of disparities leading to higher maternal mortality rates for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC).
We believe doulas help to create a more equitable, respectful, maternity care system.
We want to support and amplify BIPOC voices and support every person to have a safe, satisfying, and pleasurable birth and ensuring there is a doula for every person who wants one is an essential step.
We are offering a number of BIPOC Scholarships to promised doulas at 50% rate.
If you are an individual who identifies as a BIPOC and has a financial barrier to taking our course, we welcome you to apply for our scholarship.
Please submit a 1 minute video or letter addressing the questions below:
