Birth in Color RVA

doula, Tamika Tali, stood at that podium in front of the Danville Rotary Club and told the truth — high poverty, transportation barriers, an OBGYN shortage, and birthing people in Southwest Virginia STILL fighting to get basic prenatal care.

Birth in Color exists to make sure that truth doesn’t just get spoken — it gets acted on;

to make sure no birthing person in Virginia — rural, urban, or anywhere in between — has to fight that hard alone.

Thank you to VHRC and the Danville Rotary Club for making space for this essential conversation. 💕
