Black mothers are dying at 3-4 times the rate of white mothers in childbirth—a devastating reality that demands change. Research shows that doulas make a difference, improving maternal outcomes by providing advocacy, emotional support, and informed guidance throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
