Inclusivity and Anti Racist Statement
As a white, cisgendered Woman, I recognize my privilege.
​
I know the disparities that exist in the birth world between Black/Brown birthing bodies and White ones.
​
I want to be part of the solution, by ensuring that support is available to all.
​
At the Do Good Doulas, we are committed to unlearning, learning and growing to be a better ally to all folks.
​
In all of our course materials, every attempt has been made to ensure that inclusive language is used (respecting all families and birthing bodies).
​
We are working to break down barriers to safe, loving and supportive care.
​
We are committed to paying BIPOC for their wisdom, supporting BIPOC and their birth businesses and donating to causes that support them!
​
We are committed to removing the burden of our education from BIPOC.
We will read books, listen to podcasts, take workshops and be responsible for our own learning and growth.
​
I am committing to sharing the resources that I am using to do this work so that others can as well.
​
As my business grows, my hiring practices will be inclusive and focus on diversity.
