Listen "Catching Babies with a Go-To Doula for Black Parents"
Episode Synopsis
Sumayyah Monét Franklin is a birth rights activist, doula and owner of Sumi’s Touch.
She gives advice to potential parents on conception, coaches new parents through postpartum and is with parents during the birthing process-- she's attended over 500 births and counting.
As of late, caution around potentially being exposed to COVID-19 has made many people wary about even going to traditional healthcare facilities. Guidelines on how many people can be present for the birthing process have become strict, making more parents hesitant to go to a hospital. This might explain why Sumayyah says she's seeing an uptick in her business-- and she expects that trend to continue.
