Because

Black Families Matter

The Black Doula Project was created to fund the doula experience for expecting Black families in D.C. and Baltimore.

 

The Story of Our Birth

The BDP began as an online movement to create awareness, provide maternal health education and aid in the support of black women during their maternal journey, but as more and more black women continued to suffer from birthing complications, the BDP needed to do more. Established as a not-for-profit in 2020, TBDP began providing free pre-birth, birth and postpartum doula services to black women during their pregnancy to help reduce the maternal risk statistics of black women.
