Meet the founder

Khadija Fox, the visionary founder and lead trainer of the Divine Birth Academy, is a trailblazer in the realm of maternal care and holistic doula training. With a passion for empowering the African American community, Khadija has answered her calling to create a nurturing space where aspiring doulas of color can learn and thrive. Her journey began in 2018 as a fervent Full Spectrum Holistic Doula and advocate in underserved communities. She recognized the need for culturally sensitive and holistic support during childbirth and the overall perinatal experience due to her own birth stories. Khadija's commitment to the African American community is evident in every facet of the Divine Birth Academy's curriculum, which goes beyond traditional doula training to incorporate holistic practices that resonate with the unique experiences of African American women. Through her leadership, Khadija is not only shaping the next generation of doulas but also fostering a movement that celebrates the strength and resilience of the African American community in the sacred journey of childbirth.
