Desiree Cameron, Creative Executive Director

Desiree, is a transplant to Detroit, originally from the East Coast, spending most of her life in Connecticut and New York. She holds a Master's in Counseling and a Master's in Business, with over a decade of experience in higher education, specializing in leadership and organizational finance. After having two children prematurely and witnessing the gaps in medical support, particularly for women of color, Desiree became a passionate advocate for maternal health. She is dedicated to creating action plans that provide support for women at their point of need, both pre- and postpartum.

Desiree's interests span maternal health advocacy, sexual education, high-risk birth and NICU doula support, and lactation consulting as a Certified Lactation Consultant (CLC). She excels in strategic planning and creative direction for organizations. She is the founder of Birthing Abundantly Maternal Services, a board member at the Detroit Midwifery School, and Co-Founder of Embrace: A Motherhood Collective.

In addition to her work in maternal health, Desiree's first love is the arts. She creates abstract paintings that celebrate women's bodies and the sexual experience. A natural leader and creative force, she brings passion and purpose to all she does.
