    Omolola Suleiman

    Detroit, Michigan

    I chose birthwork because as someone who is currently in medical school with a strong interest in the field of OBYN, I wanted to understand other ways to support my future patients outside of only administering medical intervention. Birthwork allows me to connect with my clients in an interpersonal level and understand how to best support them mentally and emotionally. It also provides me with the knowledge and information on how to better advocate for my patients to have birth workers in the delivery room with them

  • Ashanti Sanders

    “Hi everyone! My name is Ashanti and I’m originally from Gainesville and the surrounding area. The whole reason why I wanted to start birth work is because I want to advocate, but also provide a sense of comfort and community. It can be very challenging to speak up during a vulnerable time, and that is what I’m here for, advocating while also providing support.“
