Doulas and mamas are using their voices.

During Detroit City Council budget hearings, Trusted Messenger doulas from Motor City Doula Association and Detroit mamas, housing advocates and activists made public comment calling for Detroit’s Right to Counsel law to be fully funded in the new budget cycle.

The program is working! Right to Counsel is helping prevent thousands of evictions every year and keeping Detroiters connected to legal support, housing stability, and dignity. Yet, this life-changing program was not made a priority in the City of Detroit budget.

Too often, mamas facing eviction are invisibilized. Our stories are overlooked. Our children, our homes, our stress, our survival, and our wisdom are brushed off.

But we will not be silent.

We will continue to stand up, tell our stories, and demand that Detroit fully fund and protect Right to Counsel. Trusted Messenger doulas are helping make sure families know their rights, know where to turn, and know they are not alone.

We will not stop fighting to keep Right to Counsel for Detroiters.

On this Earth Day, we honor the sacred connection between land, body, and community.

Black women and girls gathered across generations, forming circles of gratitude, hands in the soil, hearts rooted in healing. These moments remind us that caring for the Earth is deeply tied to caring for ourselves, our wellness, and our future.

Together, we give thanks. Together, we protect. 🌍

Art. Truth. Advocacy.

Join us for Mindset and Mimosas: A Sacred Brunch Experience✨ This meaningful gathering is in honor of Black Maternal Health Week.

Ethereal Reign Beauty & Wellness along with co-host the Wisdom Institute presents this special Mindset & Mimosas experience centered around the powerful artwork “Birth of a Target” by Detroit fine artist Jason Phillips, using art as a catalyst for dialogue, reflection, and awareness.

Together we will uplift awareness and explore the deeper symbolism of the Black woman’s birthing experience. Both the sacred act of bringing life into the world and the powerful act of birthing vision, purpose, and transformation.

This gathering invites our guest to reflect on the strength, resilience, and brilliance of Black women while engaging in meaningful dialogue around art, health, justice, and collective care.
