What are people saying about LEAD?

Shantel was an amazing doula! She really helped calm me and my partner. She gave great advice and was there every step of the way. Her coaching skills were on point. I can't say enough about how much she helped us. I'd recommend Shantel to every expectant mother - we cannot thank you enough, Shantel!

Kindly accept the enclosed check to help support the AMAZING work of the Alliance of Black Doulas for Black Mamas at UNC Chapel Hill. I truly wish I had more I could give this necessary and helpful initiative -hopefully the foundations and donors are lining up to help! Thank you for ALL that you do for women and families in your area!

Ms Leah - you helped me stay calm AND stayed on the staff toes because you documented everything. I couldn't have asked for a better support team. We want to thank you both so much for your love and support yesterday. I am so grateful! I was very scared and I felt surrounded by people who cared about me and I will remember this forever!
