Motha Doula puts Black maternal support on the map
Tenise Foxx offers doula support for Black mothers and families across Maryland, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia, with an open toolkit for preparing questions and support plans.
- For
- Black mothers and families in the DMV
- Worth noticing
- The no-sign-up Mama Toolkit includes five imagined birth conversations and a downloadable guide for discussing wishes with a care team.
Field notes
The toolkit turns broad preparation into several concrete exercises: mapping support needs, rehearsing questions in five imagined conversations, making a guide to discuss with a care team, and organizing help from a village. The page frames labor support as nonmedical and says it works alongside clinicians. It also names Medicaid as a question to explore, but the supplied content does not confirm coverage.
