Virginia Union University is making history as the first Historically Black College and University to offer a doula certification program.

In partnership with Urban Baby Beginnings, the initiative is designed to address the Black maternal health crisis by equipping students with the tools to become culturally responsive birth workers.

The program provides training in prenatal, birth, and postpartum support—centering Black families and their unique needs.

By creating a pipeline of Black doulas, VUU is investing in community care, reproductive justice, and generational healing. It’s a powerful step toward closing the gap in maternal health outcomes and uplifting the power of Black birth work.

This is Black excellence in action. Read more at ESSENCE.com.
