TRAPPIN' IN MY MIND: BLACK GIRL EDITION
WE'RE MAKING A PLEDGE...
Social impact is a founding pillar of our brand. As many of you know, Rootin' For You started solely as a doula business. We, then, branched towards holistic self-care and added the spiritual aspect. We're personally aiming to have a positive impact on the black community by offering our talents and knowledge. Labor Braids is an initiative we started in hopes of alleviating hair-related concerns for expecting mothers in the Black community. As a doula, I've had to hold hair out of the way, wrap hair in scarves, and even pack extra bonnets in my doula bag for moms-to-be. With this initiative, we are traveling and providing medium to large knotless braids to mothers in their third trimester. Our Tingling Hair Mist and Rosemary Hair Oil will also be used, at the discretion of the mother. Postpartum recovery should be about rest and bonding with the new family member, not worrying about your appearance or hair loss.
We're also launching a community-driven platform called Ask A Doula. This project will empower mothers to seek expert advice and guidance. It's free of charge and everything is right at your fingertips. We're inviting mothers to submit their questions on our website and we'll answer the questions every week. The founder will dedicate time to address these inquiries, offering valuable insights and support to help mothers navigate the journey of motherhood with confidence and knowledge. This is a safe space. Everything will be confidential, of course.
