Biography

Jaynia, Xia, and Mariama are three student midwives from Columbia University, united by a shared commitment to advancing women’s health through evidence-based, holistic care. Rooted in rigorous academic training and a passion for equity, they aim to create transformative change in the birthing space by centering representation and inclusivity. Their work reflects a deep belief that every birthing person deserves compassionate, culturally attuned, and empowering care. As future midwives, they are driven to challenge disparities, uplift marginalized voices, and reimagine maternal health systems that honor the whole person. They are proud to contribute to the dialogue shaping the future of public health midwifery.
