Leadership

Wild Olive Birth Company leads perinatal health efforts in nurturing, growing, and supporting families and individuals to thrive.

Wild Olive Birth Company is a local, woman-owned, birth-centered company offering integrated perinatal care, education, movement spaces and doula support. Rooted in culturally responsive, community-centered practice, Wild Olive recognizes equity and ancestral wisdom as foundational to health: families thrive when they have compassionate care, trusted guidance, and connection throughout their journey. Through prenatal yoga, childbirth education, lactation, placenta encapsulation, and doula training, we empower birthworkers and families to thrive.

“We are the ones we have been waiting for.”

June Jordan (1936–2002) was a Black feminist poet, essayist, teacher, and activist whose work centered on liberation, love, and justice. She wrote powerfully about race, gender, sexuality, and oppression, always tying personal experience to larger struggles for freedom. Jordan believed in the transformative power of language and community, and her writings often celebrated resilience and the possibility of building a more just world. One of her most quoted lines, “We are the ones we have been waiting for,” continues to inspire movements for collective care and liberation today.
