Meet James Hogue the Dad's Doula of FAM! 

James, a native of Detroit, Michigan, comes from a large family of twelve siblings. His early exposure to a bustling household environment, along with being an uncle to over 20 nieces and nephews, naturally steered him towards a career in birth education. James is a trained birth doula, having completed his training through the National Black Doulas Association.

His journey into birth education became deeply personal and a clear calling during his wife's challenging pregnancy with their son, which involved complications like oligohydramnios and preeclampsia. The situation highlighted the critical importance of adequate prenatal education and preparation for unexpected challenges.

Motivated by his experiences, James founded the nonprofit organization "Fathers Assisting Mothers." His mission through this initiative is to educate and empower expectant fathers, equipping them to provide essential support to the mothers in their lives during this pivotal time.
