“I am involved in Amplify because I feel like our youth need education to create a path of wellness and intention as they become adults.”

Omare is the daughter of a Nigerian immigrant and also a mother of two, working to save the lives of Black women in a healthcare system that continually dehumanizes them.  As an undergraduate working with teens she saw young girls being treated as adults and denied their right to childhood.  This sparked her interest in making sure young people had knowledge to advocate for their own bodily autonomy. As executive director of the Tulsa Birth Equity Initiative, she works to ensure every woman is treated with dignity, respect and most of all as a human. By bringing doula care to Black and Brown women, her organization gives them back the power to advocate for their care. Doula care is not just for the “haves.”

“I serve on the Amplify board because I believe that young people should be informed to make decisions for themselves and to serve as an ally that works to ensure youth voice is included in decision making spaces.”
