Community-Centered Reporting on Black Birth Features Ashe Doula Services!

Black maternal health has risen to national news in recent years, with talk of doulas, the disparities in maternal and infant outcomes, and stories of celebrities being mistreated and navigating health challenges in pregnancy. However, it is not often that our public conversations about Black birth are covered in a community-oriented way that highlights the power of Black birthers and the communities that are supporting them to navigate this journey in health and with agency. We are SO grateful to the City Bureau team of reporters in Chicago and Austin Weekly News for doing the deep work to publish this excellent issue, and honored to have Qiddist be featured as one of the birthworkers! Check out the digital issue on Black Maternal Health— there’s so much here to learn, honor and celebrate!

With love,

Qiddist & Olivia
