A Labor of Love: Fighting for Equity with Diversifying Doulas Part 2

In this compelling follow-up episode of In Their Words, we hear directly from Sabrina Torres, a certified doula with the Diversifying Doulas Initiative. Inspired by her own transformative birthing experience, Sabrina shares her journey into the world of doula care and her mission to support Black and Latinx birthing persons in Lancaster County.

Building on the foundation laid in our conversation with Dr. Sharee Livingston, Sabrina offers an intimate, firsthand perspective on the impact of this groundbreaking initiative. She reflects on how her personal story drives her passion for providing culturally aligned, compassionate care, and how she is working to bridge the gap in maternal health disparities.

Through her experiences, Sabrina highlights the profound role doulas play in empowering mothers, fostering trust, and creating a safe and supportive environment during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Her story illustrates the real-world outcomes of the Diversifying Doulas Initiative and its mission to transform lives in our community.

Join us for this heartfelt episode as we continue to explore the powerful impact of diversifying the doula workforce and supporting equitable maternity care in Lancaster County.
