In this episode, Luchia sits down with Charline Mitchell, lactation consultant, doula and founder of what could become Queens’ first birth center.

They talk about Charline’s journey from school counselor to maternal health advocate, the moment that pushed her to leave the system and why she’s now building something entirely new for families in Queens.

Luchia and Charline also get into what’s ahead - the barriers, the vision and what it will take to create real change in maternal care.
