Restorative Reproductive Justice is providing Black communities with a Traditional Black Midwife; it is correcting the injustice done by intentionally eliminating a crucial safety net for Black and Brown Birthing people, families, and community members. Restorative Reproductive Justice is funding a Traditional Black Q***r Midwife serving communities disproportionately carrying the weight of poor outcomes.

We only need 250 more people to pledge $30 a month (or 750 people to pledge $10 per month) to take the first actionable step towards birth equity.

Our Story

Michele plunged into their midwifery journey head first as a 16 year old looking for some direction in their life after attending the undiagnosed twin birth of a friend in the basement of another friend's house. What followed was a few apprenticeships, college classes, a distance study course, lots of self-study, and a continued passion for holding space for pregnant and birthing people. As a genderq***r (trans nonbinary) midwife, Michele has a special interest in providing care for q***r and gender-diverse clients from pre-conception through early parenthood, as well as providing inclusive and culturally competent Well Person Care.

Michele now spends time teaching student birthworkers, teaching s*x & s*xuality education, and expanding their reach as a community herbalist. At some point, when another 12 hours are added to the day, they will find time to get back to gardening and hand quilting.
