About Doula Cherise - Birth Justice Educator & Advocate
I’m Cherise, a birth justice educator and Medicaid specialist based in Florida.
After spending years supporting families and running a statewide community doula program, I shifted my work toward what truly changes lives:
Teaching people their rights
Showing families how to advocate for themselves
Helping doulas navigate Medicaid without being exploited
Pushing back against the system with knowledge and receipts
I come from experience — as a doula, as a mother of four, as someone who has survived medical trauma and domestic violence, and as a woman who had to navigate the system alone when it failed me.
Now I use everything I’ve lived through and everything I’ve learned to support others.
