Listen, I'm tryin to get the message through. Doula Support & Care, as well as Professional development cannot happen with out your support. We cannot change the deaths and disabilities numbers that happen in pregnancy, birth and recovery- if the birthworker and ADVOCATE CANNOT take care of their own financial needs. How else am I, a very low income birthworker of color, supposed to help, care and provide doula care and support to my community if I dont have your financial security, backing and contributions? How? It's been 8 yrs since I started in this path. Eight years lovies, and I'm still reminded on a daily basis that my skills, and experience is only worth something when I work for little or nothing at all. This comes from allies, from people who are supposed to help build communities. In 8 yrs, I've served and cared for others with little to no financial contributions from those I serve. Let's change that! I am your doula. #thebronxdoula #iamyourdoula #blackmaternalhealthmatters #mapaclass #voteNAYAssemblyBillA364B #instadaily #followme #bronxlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B6BWKy8gkSA/?igshid=1wlafrhmqyuxi
