Education that acknowledges the contributions of women of African descent in birth culture is still scarce in modern birth culture. Dr. Doula addresses the parts of birth in America that have been lost, stolen, abandoned, forgotten and surrendered, while issuing a charge about who is responsible for what and discussing ways that Black women can empower themselves to improve their own birth outcomes.
