In Conversation: Life and Death in Doula Work @ Art + Practice

Tuesday, January 20, 2026 at 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM

California African American Museum (CAAM), Los Angeles

In celebration of the exhibition *Giving you the best that I got*, which highlights images and narratives of Black mothers, join us for a timely conversation on the full spectrum of motherhood. Presented in partnership with PAUSE, an organization dedicated to creating spaces that produce safe, culturally-specific, and expert-informed grief and end-of-life resources serving communities of color, this conversation will feature doulas Crystal Coleman and Deidre Medley Coutsoumpos as they discuss the existential polarities of life and death in their work as birth and death doulas, respectively. Moderated by Art + Practice Arts Program Manager Eboné McCloud.
