Dr. Doula's Signature Course "10 THINGS" is answering a need greater than training Black doulas. "10 THINGS" was created to EQUIP BLACK WOMEN WITH THE FUNDAMENTALS WHAT WE NEED TO HELP OURSELVES ONCE AGAIN. In order to change our situation, we need Black women to be what we were before we assimilated into majority culture institutions. We ALL need to have knowledge and skills about the childbearing year so that we can lose the fear that has taken hold of us about birth. As Black WOMBmen, we ALL need to become reacquainted with birth, whether it is chosen as a career or not, so that we are in a better position to save ourselves.
“10 THINGS"... WHAT EVERY WOMBMAN SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BIRTH:
Includes fundamental knowledge that is important for birthing mothers and their support people to know and consider while preparing for birth. It includes information about modern practices and those that acknowledge women of African descent and diverse cultures strong birth traditions within society. General topics covered are: From Back Then to Here & Now, The Medical Side of Birth, Envisioning Your Birth, Integrating Traditions, Bonding with Baby
"10 THINGS"... WHAT EVERY HELPER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT POSTPARTUM:
Derived from common practices found through research of African cultures, whether in the north, south, east, and west of Africa. These indigenous practices have also been continued throughout the African Diaspora and are foundational to the care of new mothers. General topics are: Becoming a Helper, Nurturing the New Mom, Breastfeeding, Rites of Passage, Postpartum Depression
PREGNANCY and POSTPARTUM
are about FAMILY! The day a mother gives birth is not the only time she will need support during the childbearing year. Traditionally, a new mother could depend on those closest to her to care for her during her pregnancy and postpartum.

We can BECOME AN ANSWER FOR BLACK WOMEN once again. Historically, Black women did not have to pay for this type of support, because the women in their lives were equipped to be their HELPERS. There was also an understanding that the need for new mothers to be cared for was not optional. There was an expectation that, at a minimum, a new mother would be able to learn from and be supported by her mother or mother-in-law.
There are remnants of our traditions that still exist, but we don't recognize them as useful practices that were intended to be LEGACY for us.
It is time to RECLAIM OUR BIRTH RITES and RESTORE OUR FAMILY PRACTICES.
Let me help you learn the basics of birth and postpartum based in our traditions, so that you and your family can begin to help one another again.
