​Celebrating the HERstory of Black women in BIRTH in the 21st Century

12/9/2019 Comments

Advocating for VBAC Moms and Helping Pregnant Moms Experience "Pregnancy Without Fear"

"There's so much that we've lost and we are now regaining. There's so much we've gained but we don't understand... Women want to enjoy their  pregnancies, but a lot of times it's fear, worry, concern , anxiety... Why? It's because women  don't know  how to say, 'Ahhh...  I'm at peace...' Even for five minutes, 'I'm at peace...'" ~Delia Muhammad

Delia Muhammad is a VBAC advocate from the UK who is helping women find their path to Vaginal Birth After Cesarean by providing support and resources to people around the world. She has a podcast titled Pregnancy Without Fear that can be accessed on various podcast platforms.

She continues to transform herself and find ways to be a gift to birthing women. Her commitment to sharing a message of deconstructing the fear that women experience around the childbearing year is necessary for women who desire to have empowering birth experiences.

    The voices of Black women have long been censored and/or edited. These conversations with Dr. Doula are an opportunity for Black women to share their truths and experiences in birth and birth culture in their own voices.​ 
    In other words, "She said what she said..."

    ​
    When we help Birth HERstories we are acknowledging the BLACK BIRTH RENAISSANCE that is happening around the world! When we share our stories, practices, or traditions from women of African descent in America, we help preserve Black Birth HERstory. It is our responsibility as descendants of African women who were trafficked to the U.S. to hold their stories and know their practices, so that we are able to continue their tradition of being self-reliant and self-sustaining as communities of Black women. 

    Dr. Doula 

    My work is informed by my background – experiences, expertise, exposure, education & environment – as a woman, mother, wife, sister, educator, researcher, scholar, advocate, birth ally and legacy builder. #IAmTheAnswer #WeSaveOurselves
