From Student to Leader: Okunsolo’s Journey and How You Can Support Future Midwives

From Student Midwife to Leader

Dear Friends and Midwives,


Meet Okunsolo Amadou, one of three Bigger Table Fund recipients who are now serving on the NACPM Board of Directors. Watch her story and see the impact of your donations.


“I went from being a student to being a practicing midwife in my community. Now I’m on the board to help make a difference for other student midwives like me,” Okunsolo shares.


Support the Bigger Table Fund today and help reduce financial barriers for aspiring midwives. Every donation helps cover essential fees, ensuring that financial constraints don’t hinder their journey.

The Bigger Table Fund provides scholarships for student midwives of color, Indigenous and/or LGBTQIA2S+ student midwives for the national NARM credentialing examination fees and one-time awards for state licensing fees for those who are already CPMs.


The Bigger Table Fund is a small but impactful way to address systemic inequities in our CPM workforce.  Our goal is to raise $12,000 which will fund four full cycles of Bigger Table Recipients.


Your support can make a profound difference. Please consider making a one-time or recurring donation to this vital cause. Even small, recurring donations can quickly add up and are deeply appreciated.


Join us in building a bigger, more inclusive table.


With Love,


The NACPM Leadership Team
