In honor of Claudia Jones' 108th birthday this week, for #CiteBlackWomenSunday, we are revisiting Carole Boyce Davies' biography of Claudia Jones, Left of Karl Marx: The Political Life of Black Communist Claudia Jones (2008). Image

2/ Community-based doulas are birth workers closely tied to the communities they serve. They offer support of birthing people throughout pregnancy, labor, & postpartum AND provide additional services/ resources aimed at addressing social and structural health inequities.
3/ I work w/ co-author & community-based doula @uhkti_ayomida & other birth workers on policy reform to advance maternal health equity. This past year we have focused on policy reform for the doula workforce (e.g reimbursement reform, anti-racism focused training requirement)

There is a tweet going around from someone about how hard it is to find 5 women he admires. Not a great look. #womenalsoknowhistory But I’m also not sure if it’s a bot or a troll, so not retweeting it here. 2/
Instead, it gives me a good opportunity to highlight some amazing work by women—and specifically black women. In the past year I read or re-read a great number of incredible books by black women. Just five of my favorites include: 3/
