Queering Doula Work Panel Discussion

June 10th, 2023 at 2pm ET

There are no prerequisites to enroll in this offering. You do not need to be a doula or have any specific background or lived experience. This session does not result in certification. 

This is a live event to supplement our Prerecorded Queer & Trans Reproductive Support Course Bundle, though it is open to all. We offer our CE courses with the option of purchasing select lessons, or the entire course, as a way to increase the accessibility of this information.

This Q&A session offers the opportunity to advance your learning by interacting with our Prerecorded Queer & Trans Reproductive Support Core Teachers, Rise Osby, Moss Froom, and JB Brown, as well as other students in the BADT community. In this space, panelists will discuss what it means to them to Queer Doula Work, and how that impacts and influences their work. 

Corrective captioning (English) will be provided in the recording of the session. Automated captions

Moss Froom is a nonbinary doula and childbirth educator living in Baltimore, MD. After witnessing the difficulty that families in their community experienced when seeking baseline trans and queer competent care and support on their family building journeys, they dedicated themself to improving the perinatal experience for trans and queer people. Moss offers trans and queer centered support services for people at all stages of their reproductive and family building journeys, and teaches other birth workers how to provide support that's affirming and celebratory of trans and queer families.

Jenna "JB" Brown (they/he) is a full-spectrum doula and community educator, with a passion for pelvises, humans, trauma-informed care, and restorative justice. As a trans non-binary person, he is practiced in the art (and awkwardness) of transition, and he brings this knowing and compassion to his work as a doula and educator, supporting individuals and families through their own transformations in conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond. As a teacher and the Program Director at Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings (BADT), JB works with students and professionals to be partners and accomplices in the movement to change the current birth environment locally, nationally and globally. In addition to work in the perinatal space, JB does advocacy, education, mentorship, and consulting work around gender, both for trans, gender non-conforming, and non-binary people, as well as folks looking to include these individuals in their work. http://www.loveoverfearwellness.com
