with Aiyana Davison, CNM, WHNP-BC
Aiyana Davison (pronouns: she/her/hers) is a Certified Nurse Midwife and Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner-BC currently practicing in Southern California. A passionate professional, some of her most pressing priorities include: shedding light on and aiding to eradicate the inequalities that exist within healthcare, addressing the crisis that Black womxn (people) face in the U.S., the provision of quality care for all individuals and families, and the preservation of the legacy of Black midwives and birth work.
With this in mind, Aiyana uses her business and social media platforms under the name The Vagina Chronicles to educate, engage, and create safe space for those interested in all things birth work, empowerment, and overall obstetric and gynecologic health. She has been featured on a variety of podcasts and in discussions with companies such as Mama Glow, Peanut, Elive, Black Moms Blog, and more. Aiyana encourages healing through sharing and vocalizing stories (as opposed to the long-standing historical traumatic secrecy) to aid with the advancement and success of vulnerable communities.
