Happy International Homebirth Day from a Proud PG County Midwife!

Happy International Homebirth Day, Family!
As a Black licensed midwife proudly serving families right here in Prince George’s County (PG County), Maryland, I can’t let this day go by without lifting up the beauty, joy, and power of home birth—especially for us.

Now listen, I know when some folks hear “home birth,” they picture a scene from a 1700s history book or a dramatic movie with candles and screaming. But I’m here to tell you, home birth in 2025? It’s giving peace, empowerment, safety,and a whole lot of Black joy.

Whether it’s your first baby or your fifth, home birth can be a safe and sacred choice—especially when you’re working with a licensed, culturally competent, spiritually grounded midwife (hey, that’s me!).

Why Choose Homebirth in PG County, Maryland?
Because PG County deserves it. We’re a vibrant, powerful community—and we deserve personalized, holistic maternity care that honors our bodies, our families, and our birth stories. Here’s what families love about working with me:

• You’re not a number here. You’re known, heard, and cared for deeply.

• Prenatal visits that feel like therapy, education, and girl talk all in one.

• Water birth options right in the comfort of your home.

• Faith-centered care, if that’s your jam.

• And yes—snacks and laughter are always welcome at our visits.

The Truth Is—Black Families Deserve Better.
We all know the stats: Black women are 3-4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications. But here’s what the numbers don’t tell you—we are also powerful. We’re resourceful. And when given the right care in the right setting, we thrive.

Home birth with a licensed Black midwife is not just a trend—it’s a return to our roots. A reclaiming. A healing.
