Angela Diaz de Leon Equity Scholarship
The Angela Diaz de Leon Equity Scholarship helps us make this offering more accessible to those facing systemic and cultural barriers to professional development in perinatal health. Angela was a fierce advocate who believed strongly that all birthworkers should have equitable access to training opportunities. This is one way we are honoring the legacy of our beautiful friend and Founding Board Member.
