Care. Choice. Justice.

BADT is a Black-owned, queer-run doula training organization.

Our courses are designed to be socially conscious, culturally appropriate, diverse, and action-oriented.

We train our students to serve their clients using the best practices available while preparing them to be active partners in the movement to change birth and reproductive health culture locally, nationally and globally.
