WWR Digital Magazine - Home to the Women Who Rebrand Podcast


At #WWR Digital, we’re passionate about empowering individuals to take control of their lives and make bold moves. Our podcast, Women Who Rebrand, shines a light on inspiring stories and provides expert advice to help you explore the possibilities in your career, relationships, health & wellness.


This week, Sareta and Chioma had the pleasure of speaking with Nikita Akilapa, a PR and Marketing executive-turned-birth worker who provides emotional, educational, and physical support for pregnant individuals through the pre-and post-natal experience. As a Yoga teacher, Doula, Hypnobirthing instructor, and breastfeeding advocate, Nikita is passionate about sharing positive birth stories and beautiful images that accompany them (when Instagram permits). She is also a mother to two wonderful humans.


During their conversation, the ladies discussed Nikita's work as a doula - from the range of support she can provide to her limits of care - and the importance of ante-natal education. They also reflected on their own birth experiences and what they would have done differently if given a chance. Nikita then gave her take on inequalities for Black and brown women within maternity care in the NHS (MBRRACE-UK Saving Lives, Improving Mothers' Care Report, 2021) while recommending Layla F Saad's book Me And White Supremacy. If you're interested in learning more about Nikita's birthwork or simply want to stay up to date with her latest projects, be sure to follow her on Instagram @nikitaakilapa_birth
