HERstory,Inc has partnered with MOMs Orange County to co-create a community doula pilot program,
specifically for the BIPOC birthing community of OC. Birth Initiative for Reproductive Rights,
Transforming and Healing Womxn of Color” (BIRRTH Womxn OC), will be the first of its kind in Orange
County. Similar to other communities that have developed community doula models—including Los
Angeles, Riverside, San Diego, and San Bernardino counties—there is a need to develop a shared
understanding of the experiences and needs of Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) birthing
people in Orange County. With funding and continued support, we will change lives, one family at a
time.
