An Afro-Indigenous (Full Spectrum) Doula + Wedding Officiant Practice by Athena Gabriella Guice

Birthers of Civilization Consulting works with legislators, advocacy organizations, healthcare institutions, and coalitions who need real strategic capacity — not just goodwill. Every engagement is built on direct experience: years spent inside legislative offices, national advocacy networks, and grassroots organizing infrastructure across Florida and beyond.

Legislative Strategy

Two years as Senior District & Legislative Aide for Florida House District 99 means this work starts from inside the process, not outside looking in. We bring:

  • Bill tracking and legislative analysis across high-volume sessions

  • Policy brief and legislative communications development, including support on sponsored bills in session

  • Stakeholder meeting coordination connecting advocacy organizations, community leaders, and policymakers

  • Legislative landscape analysis to identify advocacy opportunities and guide strategic lawmaker engagement

  • Direct experience with reproductive health and family policy legislation, including HB 1325 (State-Certified Doulas) and HB 541 (Childcare Safety)

Organizing Infrastructure

From coordinating 15+ chapters nationally to building grassroots power in Florida, this is organizing built for scale and built to last:

  • Multi-state campaign alignment, drawing on experience leading 15+ chapters across the Eastern region of the U.S. for a national reproductive health organization

  • Cross-sector coalition convening — 36 legislative roundtables organized to date, bringing together 25+ community organizations and up to 46 advocates & stakeholders per session

  • Grassroots volunteer infrastructure, including recruitment and coordination of 25+ volunteer organizers

  • Electoral and field organizing experience, including office management for Florida House District 94 & 99 and Florida's 20th Congressional District

Training & Leadership Development

Movements need people, not just policy. We design and deliver:

  • A 100-hour+ doula training curriculum integrating advocacy, reproductive justice, and community leadership

  • Community policy workshops translating reproductive health into accessible advocacy education

  • Internship and volunteer supervision and training infrastructure

  • Curriculum development rooted in historical and political education, including the Blacked Out History Curriculum Toolkit, co-created during her time as Co-Founder & Vice President of a Dream Defenders college chapter

Community & Electoral Organizing

The foundation of all of this is grassroots, district-level work:

  • Community forums and town halls organized for a House district constituency of 275,000+

  • Communications strategy development, including 25+ press releases and media statements

  • Field organizing, canvassing, and voter mobilization across multiple state and federal campaigns

  • Maternal health and wellness programming for community members, integrating equity-focused education and stakeholder partnership

Whether you need a single training, a legislative strategy session, or a long-term coalition partner — we bring the receipts and the relationships. Reach out to talk through what your organization needs.
