"As we celebrate the inaugural Black Doula Day during the 7th Annual Black Maternal Health Week Campaign, the Black Mamas Matter Alliance proudly champions the vital role of doulas in supporting and uplifting all Black Mamas on their maternal health journey.
Doulas are essential advocates and companions, providing unwavering support and guidance to empower them through every step of their pregnancy and childbirth. Today, we honor and recognize the invaluable contributions of doulas in ensuring the well-being and dignity of Black women and birthing people everywhere."
