The Importance of a Doula in the African American Community

Tune in to the "Let's Talk" Conversation series, as I have an amazing conversation with my special guest, Ty Roberts, a Certified Doula. This episode is very intriguing, and one you don't want to miss out on. As you listen, you can hear her as she provides insight and shares her experience with how she arrived at this place of being certified, and realizing the importance of Doulas in the African American/ Black and Brown communities. But most of all, having doulas who look like and represent the community.
