Dustin Young: The Male Doula (Part 1)

Welcome To Fatherhood

This episode features a conversation with my guest, Dustin Young.

Dustin is a Mentor, Physical and Mental Health Advocate, and a Doula. He is also the Founder of Our Own – a nonprofit organization serving as a catalyst for innovation and epicenter to provide resources in untapped communities, while dismantling systemic barriers in nutrition, education, entrepreneurship, mental health, and physical fitness to further bridge the gap and ensure racial equity and social justice.

After graduating with a degree in Psychology and Sociology, Dustin went on to work for various organizations that focused on mental, physical as well as behavioral prevention with inner city youth. His firsthand experience has given him deep knowledge and understanding of issues in providing optimal health solutions. This has also prepared him for the new role he has taken as a Male Doula.

This episode is part one of an extended conversation. We begin talking about his journey to becoming a certified doula, and the episode ends with a cliffhanger. Part two of our conversation will go live next Wednesday, July 7.
I have no doubt you'll not only enjoy this talk, but learn from it as well.
And as always, thank you for listening!
