Le Creole Midwife
Ancestral wisdom. Modern care. Black joy in birth.
Why Culturally Competent Care Saves Lives
Black women in the U.S. are 3–4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women — even when education and income are the same.
— Aisha, mother of two
Here, your traditions are not “alternative” — they are essential. As a Black Creole midwife, I honor griot storytelling, herbal rootwork, Louisiana French lullabies, and the strength of our ancestors who birthed in fields and still rose.
Culturally competent care reduces fear, builds trust, and literally lowers maternal mortality. This is not charity — this is justice.
