100Knoxville: Learning to Be an Advocate with Alexis Alsup

Chris McAdoo Season 1 Episode 48

"To be a CEO, you have to be a great student."

Alexis Alsup is the founder of Empowered Dula Services. Their mission is "to substantially reduce the African American Maternal & Infant mortality rates by bringing awareness to our community on alternative care."

In this 100Knoxville conversation, our host Jalynn Baker, and Alexis discuss how Alexis’ personal experience motivated her to pursue doula work, how keeping a self-care routine can fuel advocacy work, the value of being a Black woman who advocates for Black women in birthing, making her own teas, empowering families, and much more.
