My midwifery journey begins with the birth trauma I endured during labor and birth having my first daughter in 2014. As I was on my healing journey from postpartum depression, I decided to share my experience to prevent this from happening to other women. While sharing birth stories and researching, I came across the term 'doula' which eventually led me to the birthing world. I was so intrigued by what doula work entailed that despite having a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Administration, in 2016, I made a drastic career change to become a certified full spectrum doula at Ancient Song Doula Services, where I provided free or low cost services for birthing persons in need. 

The passion for the newfound journey led me to midwifery school after a preceptorship with a hospital and home birth midwife. Eventually I graduated from SUNY Downstate and have since became a licensed midwife in the state of New York and New Jersey. Throughout the years as a doula and now as a midwife, my focus is on reproductive justice work and birth equity for people of color, as this is always a topic of discussion in my community work. In 2018, as a second year midwifery student, I had the chance to experience a home birth with my second daughter. This transformative and enlightening experience solidified my love for birthing families and their right to birth choice. 

​

With over a decade of birthing experience and a deep commitment to personalized care, I strive to create a warm and supportive environment where expectant parents feel empowered and heard. My approach to midwifery is rooted in compassion, respect, and evidence-based practices, ensuring that each individual receives the highest quality of care tailored to their unique needs and preferences. 

Being a pregnant and/ being a parent is not always easy therefore I felt that expansion of the village can help ease the minds of families that need the support. Ubuntu Midwifery was created for the village.

 

In my free time, I'm homeschooling mom. I also volunteer to teach children and young adults of color about midwifery in public and private school settings. I love reading books about herbal healing, sharing the wealth of knowledge, and learning more about black and Haitian culture. I love to spend time with my husband of 16 years along with my two lovely daughters that I breastfed past 3 ½ years of age; and is why breastfeeding holds a place dear to my heart.
