Jennifer Silvera

Jen is a mother of six, a birth doula, placenta specialist, former pediatric homecare nurse, student herbalist, and, most importantly, a student midwife pursuing certification as a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM). She began her journey as a doula in early 2016 and quickly immersed herself in the birth community, building strong connections and networks across South Jersey, where she was raised and started her family, as well as in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas.

In late 2017, Jen moved with her family to Northern Delaware and noticed significant differences in the local birth culture. Her passion for supporting Black mothers and families led her to become involved with Black Mothers In Power (BMIP), a grassroots organization dedicated to improving maternal health outcomes. Since 2020, Jen has served on BMIP's Executive Board, and she is currently the organization's President.
