Hi, I’m Rebecca Irby.

I will be your doula, your guide, as we birth a new world - one that is equitable & full of empathy! I use an intersectional lens and make sure my solutions are grounded in self-determination and decolonization practices.  


My Approach

I have witnessed the power of storytelling change the hearts and minds of some of the most hardened, set in their ways people. A personal story can cut through all the noise in a way a report or the news simply can't. 

My Mission

Is to help birth a new world full of empathy. It is going to be uncomfortable and messy and that’s ok! We need to learn to sit in discomfort and get through it, not try and bury it or run from it. The discomfort is our warning sign that something is off, not right. As a society, we have all we need to fix our problems but this will not happen if we are scared of one another and not able to talk. It's important to make mistakes, that's how we know we're growing. Let me help you on this journey by providing you with the training and tools you’ll need to navigate this new, perhaps, uncomfortable space.

My Hope

Is we can get to a place where letting someone know they’re being racist is like telling someone they have lettuce in their teeth. “…hey, oh yeah you, you got a little racism on your cheek there…no, no problem, happy to help. Hope someone would tell me if I was walking around like that!“. 

It's structural, not personal! The more conversations we can have about our country, our biases, and how racism shows up in our spaces the more empathy and equity we grow!
