CHEER CHAMPION of the week
Uplifting Mama Community Doula program was created to increase the number of persons of color doing birth and breastfeeding work in the Mississippi Delta. It is a collaborative effort between Early Dawn Birthing Services, and Clarksdale Baby University to improve breastfeeding support and maternal child health outcomes.
“We are doing this program through a grant from United Healthcare and we are going to train 20 women across the MS Delta to become community doula and provide one-on-one support during and after birth to their families, friends, and community...” - Chelesa Presley, CLC, Doula, CHW, Owner and Co-Founder of Early Dawn Birthing Services. |
