Empowering Community Connections

Chicago Volunteer Doulas (CVD) made a significant impact at the Englewood area Community Baby Shower, thanks to the exceptional organization by Ms. Dionne Anderson. The event was a prime opportunity for CVD staff to work on empowering community connections. The event was a hub of knowledge, resources, and community spirit, attended by eager participants and notable organizations dedicated to maternal and infant health.


Tiawana Jones, CVD's Program Coordinator, represented CVD by engaging the community with vital information about CVDoula services and how to become a CVDoula. Tiawana’s discussion highlighted tips for hospital births, birth equity resources, and information on reproductive justice, capturing the attention of all attendees.
