It Takes a Village to Raise a Child
-African Proverb
Conceived out of the necessity of rebuilding the "village" mindset, Cherishing Life Beginnings Doula Academy was birth in 2021. We understand and know "it takes a village to raise a child" so we created a 501(c)3 grassroots organization to accomplish this goal.
Cherishing Life Beginnings Doula Academy mission is to change BIPOC women narratives of childbirth by decreasing and/or alleviating the infant and maternal mortality rate by providing community birthworkers for care and advocacy, FREE group birth educational classes, normalize homebirths and breastfeeding, teen pregnancy assist and mentorship, and scholarships for aspiring doulas, nurses, etc.
The goals of CLB are to promote the mindset of "entrepreneurship” and "the village mentality". To do this, we will create the following:
Jobs within the community, providing FREE training to low-income females, males, and teens, 16 years of age or older, interested in a nursing/medical path, and in return, they will service there community for 1 year as they gain experience, knowledge, and skill
FREE group childbirth education classes
A teen mentorship program for new teen moms and fathers to educate and equip teen parents with life skills, encouraging them to stay in school, and nation-building.
Doula for Penda Scholarships for excelling low-income highschool students interested in a medical career path in college.
