Community Spotlight 🔦

We are proud to celebrate our very own Sister Friend and Branch Manager of Arkansas Birthing Project, Sylvia Halliburton, on an incredible milestone!

Sylvia has officially become the first state-certified doula in Arkansas — a groundbreaking achievement that reflects her dedication, compassion, and commitment to improving maternal health outcomes across our communities.

Her work continues to uplift, educate, and support mothers and families throughout Arkansas, and we are honored to have her as part of our village. Sylvia’s accomplishment is not only personal, but a historic moment that inspires future birth workers and advocates across the state.

Congratulations Sylvia!
