Activating Our Creatrix Power to Reclaim Birth as an Inheritance for Future Generations"Ultimately, if we are going to be reclaiming the systems that our people have created, there is no equivalent role called “doula.” That role is wrapped up in mother, grandmother, auntie, sister, cousin, best friend... That is just what was done. There is no word for it because it wasn’t a separate role. It was encapsulated in FAMILY." ~ Aisha Ralph

"I felt stuck... I couldn't move... I felt restricted and no one was holding me... My 'fear' was of being restrained again... I didn't want to 'feel' tied down... because I felt like if I could get up, I could do better... I could do so much better... I wanted FREEDOM..." ~ Christy Willis aka "Doula Mom"
