For more than 17 years, I have had the privilege of working with expecting, laboring, and postpartum families. Through my extensive experience, I have gained a profound understanding of the complexities and nuances inherent in the process of childbirth, appreciating the diverse and unique ways in which it unfolds for each family.

It is all of this that has been the foundation for where I have started and what is the groundwork for Birth in Color Midwifery. As a result, I have had the pleasure to be, humbly invited to more than 500 families’ most sacred space to witness as they embrace allowing their birth experience to become their own…
