Are you interested in expanding your network and holding sacred space to celebrate and connect with other Black birth workers? We hope your response is a resounding YES! Pause, take a moment, and honor yourself. Come network with other care professionals serving the Black birthing community in Los Angeles! We welcome anyone serving the birthing community, including but not limited to doulas/birth workers, counselors, clinicians, home visitors, community health educators, medical providers, lactation educators, nutritionists, herbalists, and more.

We aim to increase the network of resources available to Black birthing families and build deeper connections with one another. Please join us for some conversation and connection in the community.

Connect with one another, share resources, and expand your network!
