Love In Labor

Strong fathers know that taking care of their emotional well-being is part of taking care of their families. 💛

Checking in with yourself isn’t a weakness — it’s strength, love, and leadership.

We see you. We support you.
Community support helps babies thrive.

When one family member becomes a doula, the entire household learns to care differently.

We’ve seen mothers breathe easier knowing their sister, partner, or aunt has the tools to advocate and comfort. We’ve seen fathers find new confidence in supporting birth. We’ve seen families move from uncertainty to unity.

At Jamaa, we believe doula care belongs within the family circle. Because when the people closest to you are equipped to protect your peace, the entire journey changes.

This is how we build stronger families, one birth at a time.

Ranging from those that have laid the foundation to others, like me, who are new, all working towards better outcomes in Black perinatal health and reproductive justice.
