When I was ready to become a mother, I knew what cards were stacked up against me as a Black woman in America. I was nervous about what could potentially happen and wanted to prepare myself with as much resources as possible. I didn’t want to become a statistic, and therefore i took action and hired a Doula.
I knew some basic concepts of a doula, but I had no idea that they would also help you become more of an advocate for yourself in a hospital situation. I was able to believe in my own ability to give birth because of Desiree. She was able to show me that even though things don't always go as planned, I still had a voice. My husband and I learned a lot from our experience working with Desiree. My level of anxiety and concern decreased as my knowledge increased. I would strongly advise working with Desiree if you are about to become a mother for the first time. She is there to support and encourage you at every turn.
