"SISTER DOULA" is a story about Hakima Payne, a nurse based in Kansas City who bravely confronts the Black maternal health crisis by providing alternatives to the US healthcare system that disproportionately harms, surveils, and criminalizes Black families.

Mama Hakima is a fearless truth-teller and a compassionate mentor whose mission is to save Black babies and promote equal access to healthcare for all. The story also features the birth doulas Mama Hakima has mentored, who advocate for Black birthing people and work toward a future where everyone can thrive during pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
