Angel Green
Community Engagement and Outreach Coordinator
Angel Green is a native of Sacramento with 2 adult daughters. She became a professional doula in 2020 but has been fascinated with birth since age 16. Angel is compassionate and a natural networker, one of her heart’s passions is to connect people with goods, services, and stories that will help them during times of need.
She is also a trained mental health advocate and sister circle facilitator, having completed the Sisters Mentally Mobilized program with the California Black Women’s Health Project, and was instrumental in helping to create their Black Birth Workers Toolkit. After attending a conference with Postpartum Support International and understanding more about how postpartum depression affects new mothers, Angel started Postpartum Conversations with Auntie Angel, in October 2021, to support new moms during their transition with their babies. She later leveraged these discussions into an 8-week workshop series that was funded by California Black Women’s Health Project. She was able to hire subject matter experts to bring their expertise to a community of new moms. Topics such as Co-Parenting and Custody, My Body After Baby, and Tips to Reduce Anxiety, were greatly received by the attendees. Her mission as a doula is to inform, empower, and prepare moms for the best labor, delivery, and post-partum possible. She was also a recipient of the Black Doulas Award in 2020. Her award was in the name of Marqwetta Johnson, who passed away at 42 due to ectopic pregnancy complications while carrying twins. She was the loving mother of 7 children. Angel was honored to represent for the legacy of Ms. Johnson.
Angel also co-hosts a podcast called Open Minded Conversations with her good friend Wanda Abney. Together they discuss, with their guests, subjects that have been taboo in the Black community. The goal of the podcast is to expose people to topics they may not be able to discuss with their family and friends and to encourage healthy and open dialog within the community.
Additionally, Angel is a board member for Birthing Project USA, an organization that helps moms by linking them to community members to assist them during at least the first year of their baby’s life.
Angel is a reader, a traveler and a lover of learning.
