Sauleiha Ifashikemi Akangbe Ogun is a fourth-generation birth-worker who began attending births as a teenager with her own mother. She has progressively earned expertise in her work, supporting decolonized birth for Black & Indigenous women. Sauleiha combines her education, skillset, and life experience to address birth inequity within Western birth spaces through integration of the wisdom and knowledge of the broader communities. Sauleiha has successfully worked closely with hospital leadership and medical care provider stakeholders (nurses, midwives, and physicians) at one of the largest birthing hospitals in the United States to address medical racism and poor health outcomes for Black and Indigenous birthing communities. She also leads and mentors Black doulas and community health workers in these settings. Within her roles, Sauleiha created the Swedish Postpartum Doula Program, which is the first integrated postpartum doula hospital service in our country where she normalized culturally responsive and congruent postpartum services. She then created the Black Birth Empowerment Initiative (BBEI), which influenced culturally congruent birth and postpartum doula practices, services, and hiring within a leading hospital. BBEI later grew into the Justice Unity Support Trust (JUST) Birth Network that has influenced care models nationally and received recognition from the Biden-Harris Administration. Alongside the work Sauleiha does at the hospitals in America, she also trained and practices as a traditional midwife (Agbebi). Her Agbebi practices are from Yoruba Land Nigeria, where she is a member of the Traditional Birth Association in Osogbo, Osun State, Nigeria. Recently crowned a chief,  Oloye Yeye Alaweye, she continues her work caring for her community, catching babies, and creating educational pathways, initially through a retreat for Black and Brown birth workers to return to Nigeria to study traditional birth practices outside of Western ideology to create a solid foundation for their practices in America. This has now expanded to Olomo Lo Laye. Alongside her birth work, Sauleiha is a mother, wife (Apetebi), and a priestess of ifa/orisa in Isese
