(In Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower, a group of people lead by a young Black Woman, Lauren Oya Olamina create a village to support one another through a war torn post apocalyptic US. The village is the source of empowerment, comfort, and strength, and beauty. In this package, your doula is your companion throughout your entire parenthood journey, from conception through postpartum and beyond. Your doula is, in essence, your village.)
