It truly takes a village to support a growing family—and today, we took another step toward rebuilding it.
I had the honor of speaking at Nurturing Our Future: A Breastfeeding Awareness Initiative hosted by Frederick Alumni Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.. My presentation, “Rebuilding the Village,” focused on the vital intersection of continuous postpartum support, doula care, and lactation guidance—and why every parent deserves a strong safety net.
What many might not know is that beyond my leadership work in the community, I am also a trained doula at Chosen Helpers. Walking alongside families during these transformative moments is at the heart of everything I do. When we pair clinical resources with hands-on, culturally congruent doula care, we empower parents, improve health outcomes, and truly restore the community support systems our families need to thrive.
Thank you to everyone who joined the conversation, asked thoughtful questions, and showed up for our community today. Let’s keep building!
