ST. CLOUD DOULAS

My name is Fatuma (Fa) Youb, MPH. I am a trained COPE birth doula and a breastfeeding counselor. I had the opportunity to witness live births in rural Cambodia as a Peace Corps volunteer in 2013. I have seen the disparity amongst families in birthing spaces. Black women are more than three times more likely to have a maternal death than white women in the United States. Providing physical and emotional support to pregnant women during the birthing period until the first 1000 days of the child is critical for the child and mother's health. It is essential to me to help stop the disparity amongst black women in pregnancy-related deaths. I am excited to be part of the Everyday Miracles team to serve as many diverse families as possible. I live in Central Minnesota and am thrilled to use my Somali language skills to serve Somali mothers, particularly in the Saint Cloud, Waite Park, St. Joseph, and Sartell locations.

Birth work is Life work. I believe it is a beautiful way to usher life into the World.

 Hi, I'm Morgan! I’m a certiified COPE Doula, wife, and mother of 3. Not too long ago, birthing people went through labor surrounded by their loved ones who had birthed babies, and watched babies be born. They came together to help care for the birthing family and teach them how to be parents. Nowadays families are far apart, this community has been lost. This is why I knew I wanted to be birthing people's "village".

Helping to end the mortality rate of black and brown birthing people and babies is my biggest passion -- being able to provide support to the unheard.

Hello, my name is Masha but everyone calls me Shay. I am a school psychologist and a candidate for my Psy.D in Clinical Psychology. I am engaged and a mother of 1 with multiple fur babies and reptiles. Child birth for me was beautiful but it hadsome challenges because I did not educate myself on the statistics that come with being a woman of color and a young mother. I struggled with breastfeeding and had no support at all. Gaining insight now on the beauty behind birth will help me ensure I can advocate for my families.

I am excited to be apart of the journey of the Everyday Miracles team because they do a lot to support families, the mothers, and the babies journey on this earth. Advocating is my passion and supporting those who lack the knowledge or aren’t heard will keep me striving towards my who, what, why, and how.
