the mission

Why do we need a Doula Expo?

There is a nationwide imperative to expand the doula workforce as a response to the current maternal health crisis in the U.S. We believe in centering the power of community, imagination, joy and unique problem solving as we work together to design a future where birth is safe, affordable and equitable. This event elevates important conversations and convenes people from all walks of life and industry with the shared desire of improving maternal health outcomes. 

The Doula Expo is the first-ever culture-shifting event of its kind that centers a vision for the future of birth and has been thoughtfully and beautifully curated with birth workers and birthing people in mind. The festival inspired by the incredible community of birth workers and families served at Mama Glow. 

Proceeds from the ticket sales benefit the MAMA GLOW FOUNDATION, a 501c3 non-profit organization advancing reproductive justice and birth equity through education, advocacy, and the arts. Your ticket purchase supports doula scholarships for novice doulas across the country, and grants for doula support for families.
