Audrey Gentry-Brown
Co-Founder I Strategic Director | Learning Midwife | Certified Lactation Counselor
Midwifery is my resistance, my responsibility, and my offering to past, present, and future generations.
Midwifery called me long before I knew its name. Midwifery is my inheritance, my offering, and my responsibility. Inspired by stories of my great-aunt, Sis Vivi, a midwife in rural Jamaica, I am next in what I see as a lineage of Black birthkeepers reclaiming ancestral birth practices and healing modalities. I currently serve as a Primary Midwife Under Supervision and Birth Assistant at Birth Care & Women’s Health, and am in the final phase of my training as I prepare to sit for the CPM exam. Steeped in traditional midwifery, ancestral technology, and experience-based research, my work restores birth as sacred, honoring the intelligence of the body and spirit. This work is not just what I do—it is who I am.
