All social media marketing requests, birthworker mentor inquiries and speaking engagements can be proposed during a Doula Interview, get started with Whit here.
As a full-spectrum doula, Whit Williams-Black (she/they) is dedicated to serving the community. Early on in Whit’s birthwork journey, she felt the call to serve Black mamas, young parents, poor, LGBTQIA+, and QTBIPOC people in the South. Her goals are to one day become a community midwife and to open birth centers and community gardens across the Southeastern States of America.
Whit began studying power, reproductive justice, and feminist movements in 2015. She obtained a B.A. in Gender and Women’s Studies with a minor in Social Justice in 2018 from Hollins University. Since graduation, Whit has become a certified full-spectrum doula with Ancient Song Doula Services in NYC. Whit also completed Whole Body Pregnancy Childbirth Educator training in 2021! Professionally, they have served as a Community Educator-- facilitating workshops on Reproductive Justice, Consent, and Pleasure.
Whit is also extremely humbled to have been chosen as a Grant Recipient for Ancient Song’s inaugural Juneteenth Seed Fund and the 2nd grantmaking cycle of Birth Future Foundations - Sustaining Birth Justice: Sowing Seeds for Abundance!
