As Founder and CEO of Black Sisters Birth Academy®, Christina trains aspiring Black midwives and aspiring Black birth assistants through a curriculum-based online program intentionally designed for them. Her program equips them to support community midwives with births in out-of-hospital settings as certified birth assistants. The academy's creation was stemmed from Christina’s own need to find a birth assistant training that was for us and by us to train her own birth assistant and the options were not there. As Christina puts it, "if you don't see what you want, build it." And that's exactly what she did. Black Sisters Birth Academy® has since successfully trained and certified birth assistants across the nation, from California to Arkansas to show and prove that BIRTH: It's What We DO.
