• Birth Support: Oily Doula

• Birth and Postpartum Support: Supportive Seahorse

• Postpartum Support: Joy the Village Postpartum Doula

And here are some funds to contribute to:

• Seeds Worth Sowing

• Birth Revolution

• Doula4All

• Seed Community Fund

• Oily Doula’s Campaign

• The Black Home Birth Initiative

We are also showcasing some of the births we’ve captured for Black birthing people, families, and babies* at home, in birth centers, and at hospitals around the Twin Cities. Take a peek and enjoy!
