Making Everlasting Change

About

Our Membership Collective

At Ọlọ́mọ Ló L'ayé we believe in an egalitarian approach where we expose, equip, and empower those within our membership tiers. Our egalitarian approach to pregnancy care, where everyone involved - including parents, families, communities, healthcare providers, and birth workers - has a voice and seat at the table.  By abolishing hierarchical structures and valuing each person's unique knowledge and experience, we can re-establish best practices that are respectful, effective, and tailored to individual needs.
