In this episode we are leaning into the teachings of Desiree Sprauve. She will be sharing her journey into Holistic Women's Health and Wellness. Desiree shares with the village why womb care is important and so much more.

On April 13, 2023, during Black Maternal Health Week, Care Ring, along with Presenting Sponsor Atrium Health and in partnership with US Congresswoman Alma S. Adams, PhD, hosted an important event at Johnson C. Smith University to raise awareness of the Black maternal mortality crisis. We screened the documentary "Aftershock" and talked with experts and those with lived experience to find out what is being done and what still needs to be done to address these preventable tragedies. This event was targeted towards maternal health care providers and executives, community activists, changemakers, and anyone serious about making a significant difference for Black mothers. The event was well-attended with 175 present.

The event was free to attend thanks to our event sponsors, and an opportunity to invest in Care Ring's life-saving maternal child health programs was presented.

Désirée Sprauve is multifaceted but joined us today to discuss her journey in becoming a doula and holistic wellness consultant. In part one, she discussed the difference between a doula, midwife, and Obstetrician. She shared how she discovered her calling and what her day-to-day looks like. She also brought some shocking statistics about black and brown women to our attention.

The Doula Expo Main Stage hosted keynote speeches and panel conversations all day long, with Mama Glow and Mama Glow Foundation founder Latham Thomas kicking off the programming with an address (and dance party) for the audience. March of Dimes President and CEO Stacey D. Stewart spoke to doulas Ebonie Tudor and Desiree Sprauve about advocating for a better system for birthing people and birth workers.

In this earthly life, you are sometimes taken on an incredible journey you did not know you had the capacity to support. Unbeknownst to me, a stop on my journey on August 5, 2019, would have me deliver a beautiful baby boy in a bathtub at 8:31AM.
