She is the founder of For The Village and Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings. She's also a Somatic Experience Practitioner in training. Sabia's mission is to bring inclusive, accessible and full spectrum education and resources to all individuals and organizations dedicated to creating a world of inclusion, justice and equity to birthing people all over the world.

Sabia and I discuss health disparities and advocacy, and how both are being affected by the coronavirus pandemic.
