Creating Doula Diversity

In January we trained our first 4 doulas who speak Arabic! That is a great start towards our goal of having a diverse doula population. We hear talk about having a doula serve you that is from your community. As we looked around TN we realized that doulas tend to be caucasian women. Well, it is time for change and we want to be the change. So, we found some women who wanted to train as doulas that are refugees wanted to train right away. They are a wonderful addition to our community.

This is our first step. We are planning a doula training totally in Spanish in April and to continue to encourage people from a diverse background to come train as doulas. We hope by this time next year to see a growing trend of options in our doula community.

We serve everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, immigration status, religion, or disability. We believe we all have something to contribute. We believe we can all learn from one another.
