Head of Birth Advocate by Priestess (Birth Justice Advocacy)

About Us

Birth Advocate by Priestess is an early-stage startup building the first national directory connecting birthing patients with lawyers trained in birth-time legal advocacy. Black women die in delivery rooms at three times the rate of white women, and the legal infrastructure to protect them has never been built. We are building it now.
