Rooted Doula Collective

Bodyfeeding is a journey that can be shaped by countless factors—physical, emotional, and societal. Every experience is unique, and that's why it's essential to surround yourself with a village that honors and supports your path. Whether it's joy, struggle, or somewhere in between, your journey is valid. Let's build a community where every parent feels empowered, respected, and uplifted as they nourish their little ones. 🤎

Here are four ways that the Black Mamas Matter Alliance calls on policymakers to invest in and honor Black women and birthing people’s leadership:
Compile, archive, and showcase global histories and traditions of Black midwifery and birth work, reproductive justice activism, and community care models.

Develop national standards for maternal, sexual, and reproductive health that are based on the traditions, teachings, and practices of the Black maternal, reproductive, and perinatal workforce.

Develop curricula that infuse Black feminist frameworks and culturally congruent teachings and practices

Apply Black feminist praxes to policy and program development, implementation, and analysis at every level of government.
