Exploring a Doula’s Perspective of Feminism and Modern Motherhood - WFNI at M.O.M.

This is the kind of terminology native New Yorker, Yiska Obadia uses to describe her work as a part-time Doula. For those out there who don’t know, a “Doula” is a person who provides care and emotional/physical support to a mother before, during, and even after the birth of their child. Yiska grew up in New York City and moved to the suburbs, where she currently resides with her hubby of one year.
