#11: What is a doula? with Jennifer Michel-Wilson

In our last installment for this year’s Black Maternal Health week, we talk with Jennifer Michel-Wilson, a certified doula who helps women throughout their pregnancy process. We clarify why doulas are an important part of different maternal health phases, how they provide support to pregnant women and mothers, as well as share the ways in which they can collaborate with other healthcare providers to ensure that a patient is having a safe and joyful birthing experience. I am joined with my co-host and good friend, Touseef Mirza. For more information on Jennifer Michel-Wilson: https://labelledoula.com/  @labelledoula
