SISTER DOULA is the story of Hakima Payne, a nurse in Kansas City who tackles the Black maternal health crisis head-on, fighting to save Black babies by offering alternatives to the US healthcare system that surveils, criminalizes, and harms Black families. Mama Hakima is equal parts unapologetic truth-teller and wise-compassionate mentor. This is the story of the birth doulas she has mentored, who advocate for Black birthing people and work toward a future where all people will have equal access to thrive in pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
