Everyone Deserves a Doula.
Four simple words.
Everyone deserves a doula.
These four simple words are the cornerstone of our work. When we decided to become doulas, we were keenly aware of the statistics that highlighted the benefits of doulas, as well as the statistics that highlighted the Black Maternal Health Crisis and the danger of birthing while Black.
When we dreamt up ÀBĪYÈ Collective, we wanted to find a way to make certain that no Black birthing person who wanted a doula had to be without one. We committed to providing care to Black birthing people pro-bono every year— which is why we are excited to launch our Everyone Deserves a Doula campaign, a continuation of the campaign we started when we first launched ÀBĪYÈ Collective two and a half years ago.
Throughout the month of March 2023, our goal is to raise $5000 in hopes of increasing the number of births we can offer pro-bono on an annual basis while supporting the time and energy that we put into this critical work, because everyone deserves a doula.
Our ask is simple- donate and/or share this fundraiser with those in your networks who believe that access to doulas should be a right, not a privilege.
