Elaine Welteroth on Motherhood, Midwifery, and Why Every Mother Deserves More

We sat down with Elaine Welteroth on set for our 2026 Changemakers campaign. ⁠⁠Founder of birthFUND, a nonprofit deploying direct grants to families and midwives to close the gap in birth equity across America, Elaine is reshaping what every mother gets to expect from her birthing experience.

In this conversation, she opens up about the support she wished she'd had the first time around, the moment her midwife moved her to tears, and what it means to step into motherhood on your own terms.
