    I’m Kelly. And, no, I don’t have kids. And, no, I’ve never wanted kids. Yes, that’s right, it’s never even crossed my mind. I’ve never wanted to be a mother. From the beginning, I knew I was meant for a different role.

    So how did I become a pregnancy and birth guru, a lover of all things pre-, peri-, and postnatal, and (or so some have said) a baby whisperer? Honestly, it was sort of an accident.

    I started out as a licensed clinical social worker. For years, I worked with mothers and children, helping them navigate all the stressors that come with parenthood and family life and build skills to overcome depression, lifelong trauma, and all the difficulties of modern life. But, still, I knew therapy wasn’t the whole picture for me.

    Charles Johnson has dedicated his life to the pursuit of what his own family failed to receive – safe, respectful, & equitable maternal health outcomes in America. His passion for systemic change is driven by his love for his wife, Kira, who passed away following the birth of their second child. In April 2016, Kira underwent a routine c-section following an uncomplicated pregnancy. Hours later, she died from internal hemorrhaging despite adamant pleas for help from medical professionals by her husband and loved ones. Her story exemplifies the current crises happening in America: rising rates of maternal mortality and the silencing of Black voices. After experiencing the unimaginable, Charles harnessed his pain and used it to pursue the highest level of good. He channeled his grief into founding 4Kira4Moms, a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving birth outcomes in America. Charles knows childbirth should be empowering and free of fear for all mothers. 4Kira4Moms advocates for improved maternal health policies and regulations, educates about the impact of maternal mortality in our communities, provides support to victims’ loved ones, and approaches maternal mortality as a human rights issue.

    Mothers are the very framework of our society.

    They teach us how to love unconditionally and are willing to protect the most vulnerable among us. The loss of even one at the hands of an unjust system robs our country of what it needs most.
    Charles has used his voice and story to advocate for change at countless events and media appearances all over the country. He is a board member of March for Moms and serves as Chairman of the Fairness of Injured Patients Act, which seeks to restore the rights of victims of medical negligence in California. Charles has testified twice before Congress and helped pass key legislation including: the Preventing Maternal Death Act of 2018, the Protecting Moms Who Served Act of 2021, and the California Momnibus. He is currently working with Congress to pass the Black Maternal Health Momnibus Act of 2021, an unprecedented set of bills addressing every aspect of the maternal health crisis happening in America.

    Charles was also honored by Oprah Winfrey on OWNSpotlight’s 2020 fatherhood special entitled, “Honoring our Kings – Celebrating Black Fatherhood.”
    In addition to his advocacy work, Charles is busy raising his two beautiful boys, Charles V and Langston, who keep their mothers’ spirit alive powerfully every day.

    My name is Caitlyn and I am the owner and founder of Lila. Some may know me as Mrs. United States 2020, some know me simply as the creator of the viral Tik Tok labor gown. I originally designed my birth gowns after spending years working as a Labor and Delivery nurse and as a birth doula. I have never cared for the use of hospital gowns in the labor and delivery setting. Their design may make some sense for sick patients receiving care inpatient, but pregnant people are not sick. Laboring women and birthing people should be free to wear (or not wear) anything they want, and experience labor and birth in whichever way makes them feel most comfortable.
