This is what labor with a doula can look like. Supported. Emotional. Compassionate. During the birth of her baby, 's doula joined her in song helping keep her grounded and calm. That's the beauty of doula work. 🀎

International Women's Day exists because of the gender inequities that persist across the globe. It's a day of action that calls for supporting women globally and what better way to support women than during the time they need it most β€” pregnancy and postpartum.

At Ancient Song, we are working to eliminate maternal and infant mortality and morbidity among low-income Black and Latinx people by providing culturally competent doula trainings, offering access to high quality holistic doula care, and advocating for policy change.

Women are the creators of our world. This is the least we can do. Show your support and make a donation at ancientsongdoulaservices.com πŸ”—

"Building a matriarchal system that centres women and children could remedy this. Why? Because patriarchy has created the system we live in now, the one that has led to declining birth rates globally. Patriarchal values conflate perfectly with capitalist values, and both systems prioritise economic growth above all else."

In a recent piece for Glamour, Hannah Shewan Stevens makes the case for dismantling the patriarchy and ushering in matriarchy instead.

What are your thoughts? How would matriarchy transform our birthing spaces? How would it impact postpartum and childhood?
