Camille Barnes

Camille Barnes is passionate about racial equity and inclusion, particularly as it relates to reproductive justice, and access for all to high-quality birth options and holistic postpartum support. She is a seasoned mother to four boys ranging in age from early elementary to middle school. Camille is a social justice advocate through her podcast “Two Not Too Black Moms” that she co-hosts with Maria Silver Pyanov. She’s a certified postpartum doula and breastfeeding counselor who has knowledge of infant care and soothing techniques, early infant development milestones, breastfeeding initiation. In that work, she became attuned to how the disparities in Black maternal health were so significant which made her passionate about increasing the women of color working in the field to help bring support to moms of color. Her former role as an emotional support counselor enhances her skills in leading our support group for moms of color—Melanin Mamas. Her experience fuels her work at the Center helping to support equity and access.
