Notes, Quotes, and Conversations
“
Studies
show
that the support of a trained doula can be a lifeline, not only in the health care
setting, but also during the sensitive postpartum period for a new mother and her family. The
benefits associated with doula care are even more pronounced for low-income women, single
mothers, and those experiencing other
social and structural determinants of maternal health
inequities

On Becoming a Mother
- Katie Shea Barrett
"I share my story because I am a health policy professional, a private insurance card holder,
and a white woman with means. My privilege afforded me the ability to make those choices. As
founding Executive Director of March for Moms, it is my work now to ensure that every family
has the ability to grow their family in the way that they choose." (
Black Maternal Health
Caucus).
