The Black maternal health crisis is a reality that affects thousands of women and families every year. But what can we do to change the narrative and create empowered birth experiences? In this episode, we’re joined by Nicky Dawkins, author of A Kids Book About Periods, full-spectrum doula, and feminine health influencer, to explore how to navigate the challenges of childbirth and how to reclaim the joy, power, and peace in the process.

Nicky shares her invaluable insights on advocating for yourself in medical spaces, building a birth plan that reflects your desires, and forming a community that supports your vision. From understanding the language of care to finding resources that help you feel informed and confident, this conversation is packed with actionable advice for birthing people and their families.

Nicky’s wisdom is a game-changer for anyone preparing for childbirth, whether it’s your first time or your fifth. She reminds us that creating a dream birth experience is not about perfection—it’s about empowerment, preparation, and community. Whether you're expecting, supporting a loved one, or simply curious about improving maternal health outcomes, this episode will leave you informed, inspired, and ready to take action.
