I did not know what to expect when it came to the doula workshop but I was very excited to learn what sister Ebby had to offer. I was very pleased when I spoke with her for the first time. What I liked most about sister Ebby's workshop was the flexibility of the classes and the detail in the information.
My biggest takeaway from this experience of training to be a doula is knowing that my sisters won't be alone during such a critical moment in their lives . It is very important to me to rebuild and reclaim our community and it starts with the woman because she is the creator of life, so it is an honor for me to be able to assist women in what should be the most beautiful and honorable time in her life to have a warm heartfelt loving memory of bringing the new generations of life into the world. What a big responsibility with a big obligation for our community our families to set up. I'm so honored and grateful to be able to help in such a great way for an greater purpose I can honestly say I would recommend this Doula training through sista Ebby and her organization because she has experience galore and her nature was perfectly designed to do this. Ebby is very passionate about her work with women and children and it is very evident in her training courses. My over all experience was informative eye-opening exciting, this experience put me in a stronger state of mind to be more of a support system for my sisters in my community & my Nation. Thank you sista Ebby ! |

Peace Ebby,
I found the experience of taking the "Doula Training to be informative within a professional, nurturing and empowering space. I found you to be punctual, prepared and consistent for our classes. During class I learned a wealth of knowledge that I was not aware of until discussed in class. Class was engaging affording me unrestrictive time to ask questions and clarify any misconceptions. The homework assignments I found important concepts learned during class and giving me an opportunity to make connections from theory to practice with real life application. I was so excited to an learn about the connection and influence of historical African American women serving as midwives in the past to present day contributions. We are because of them. The business aspect of the course allowed me to set my goals and expectations high for myself and those I will serve in the future. Lastly, I appreciate the quest who spoke about their experiences as Doula's and Holistic Health providers for the community. Lastly, after the course you continue to make yourself available to me for any present questions, concerns and celebrating successes in my life.
You are caring and a women of your word! You empower me to BE........
With gratitude,

I believe that Ebony is a great coach she took the time to talk to me when i felt discouraged and unhappy in my job, she listened to me and showed me that she cared. She reminded me I could have what i wanted if i took the time to believe in myself, do not make a excuses and put my resume to as many places as possible until i get the results I wanted. Even though I was working full time with 3 children it felt like i had no time to do it. Ebony went over my schedule with me and pointed out the days and hours I can send out my resume. At times it felt hopeless but she encouraged me to stay motivated. She was very supportive, gave me instructions and practical steps to pursue my goal. I stayed consisting in pursuing the job and within 2 months from our conversation I received a job offer in which i was excited about. A week later i was offered a teaching position with a higher pay and close to home and i took it. If you are struggling with a job you hate or want to find a way to pursue a career that is more fulfillilng to you then i recommend Ebony. She sincerely cares, she will be real with you and give you practical steps you can immediately start to take to see results.

OMG! It brings tears of joy to my eyes when I think of Ebony and how awesome having her as my doula was. I have 4 children and she was with me for my last child, my only daughter. I was extremely sick through out the entire pregnancy, I had lost a lot of weight because of my illness, but ever since Ebony entered my life she gave me hope and made me look forward to giving birth to my beautiful daughter. Ebony brought peace and tranquility into a very rough and stressful situation. She massaged me, she brushed my hair, we danced together and as insignificant as that may seem it was so calming and my baby loved it from within. She was my voice when I couldn't get the words out; she was my shoulder to lean on when my husband wasn't there. Ebony is just superb. Because of her I would actually have another child even after my experience with my daughter. I am actually considering becoming a doula myself. Hopefully I can one day make someone else's experience as beautiful and memorable as Ebony made mine. Thank you Ebony, you will always be a part of my daughter's life. We love you. I encourage every mom to be to get Ebony in their lives. Thank you!

When I first heard Ebby Knights speak, there were several things that stood out, but there was one thing in particular that really stood out and that is the ability to make people feel empowered and confident about any challenges they may be facing or goals their trying to reach. Ebby makes you feel like "You Got This" She has a canny way of making you feel like you can run through the wall and come out standing. She is engaging, passionate, and inspirational and what I really appreciate the most about her speaking is that you will leave feeling purposeful. |
