About me

I am Tintawi Kaigziabiher, and my family and I live in Northern New Mexico. As a woman of African Descent. I recognize the importance of both science and tradition in uplifting Black and Indigenous communities. My husband and I have five living children. We have also experienced five pregnancy losses. Understanding the impact of personal pregnancy loss and stillbirth among families has inspired me to want to support as many people as possible so they can live to see their child’s birth, first birthday, and beyond. It is equally important that people have support through pregnancy loss. In my day-to-day life, I am an interdisciplinary artist, a writer, Olorisa (Lukumi Priest), Certified Lactation Counselor (ALPP), Certified Birth Doula (CBI), former Certified Trainer (CBI), Neonatal Resuscitation Provider, the Executive Director of the nonprofit ILE IFE, a PAILAdvocate Trainer (Pregnancy and Infant Loss), and the founder of the Our Earth Full Spectrum Community Birth and Postpartum Attendant (CBPA) training program. I am a published author, and my most recent work is a book entitled “The Bead Griot.” My writing and artwork center on giving voice to the experiences of African people living in the diaspora. I have worked in maternal and infant health since 2004 and professionally since 2009. I have assisted midwives, trained with birth attendants in traditional and evidence-based care, worked with families in home and hospital births, trained doulas and full-spectrum Community Birth and Postpartum Attendants (CBPAs), and supported women and birthing people in New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, and overseas, both virtually and in-person as needed. In collaboration with several statewide organizations I am part of, I seek to uncover disparities in reproductive health care and, with community members, develop unique solutions to improve outcomes for our most vulnerable yet resilient people.
