About Auntie B's Babies

Auntie B's Babies is a community care initiative that exists to increase healing and joy during the very tender post-partum period for Black women. Affectionately known as Auntie B to many, she was Deola's big sister and Effie's beloved aunt.  Auntie B transitioned to her heavenly home August 24, 2024 but her forever lasting legacy of prayer, hands on community support, and a fierce love of people and babies lives on.
