“Don’t worry Anny, when you have your babies, I will come where you are and show you everything you need to know…”
Within a year of my mother Johnnie Mae Gray Little saying those words to me, she had become an ancestor. That is one of the few statements that I can still hear in her actual voice, and I have spent the past 25 years, through births of my own and many others, chasing her words and trying to figure out what she would have shown me. Daughters of the African Diaspora has been birthed from her inspiration.
How You Can Participate
Daughters of the African Diaspora Alliance (D.O.A.D. Alliance) involves women of African descent who are committed to preserving, protecting, and promoting indigenous knowledge systems from Africa through traditional birth practices, by utilizing resources within nature, and by practicing skills that allow people of African descent to sustain themselves. It recognizes the daughters of the African Diaspora, spread all over the Western Hemisphere, who have dedicated their lives to learning the traditions of their ancestors, understanding the needs of birthing women's bodies, and using ancient knowledge to heal and PROTECT WOMEN. Read below to see how you can get involved.
