I was trained by Doula Trainings International through their full spectrum doula training program. I chose DTI because I value their commitment to fiercely incorporating reproductive justice into their training. Between acknowledging birthing disparities based on race, and acknowledging that not all birthing people identify as a mother, DTI equipped me with knowledge about the intersections between birth, race, gender, and sexuality. Through this program, I also have training in abortion doula work.
