Baltimore Community Doula

From

The 2020 Women’s Unity March is less than a week away! That means it’s time to introduce our speakers. Meet our first speaker: Andrea N. Williams-Muhammad.
For the last twenty years, Andrea N. Williams-Muhammad has dedicated her energy and passion to educating, empowering and supporting families on their birth journey. Her experience has fostered a renewed passion for exposing how birth disparities contribute to the overall mental and physical wellbeing of mothers and their children long after the postpartum period and its impact on the community. She believes the birth and postpartum services offered by birth professionals such as doulas and midwives are greatly underutilized, especially in communities and populations with the highest infant mortality rates.
Born and raised in Baltimore, MD, this wife and mother of four looks beyond the statistics and sees joy and success in a city learning to redefine itself. She is currently sits on the Community Advisory Board of the B'more for Healthy Babies. Andrea is also the Co-Chair for the Reproductive Health Equity Alliance of Maryland and a National Collaborator on the Policy Working Group for the ‘Black Mamas Matter Alliance.’
