Dr. Perpetual Anastasia Adjwoa Baiswa Hayfron, is a multidisciplinary scholar, altruistic hedonist, and Black Feminist, driven by a ferocious zeal for critical inquiry, holistic humxn welfare, and the spiritual liberation of Black people. Her Ghanaian and Liberian heritage profoundly shaped her doctoral research at the University of Massachusetts Boston, where she explores the impact of global anti-Blackness on the mental health of Black Millennial Women (BMW) in post-secondary education. Inspired by healing, advocacy, and radical self-love, Perpetual utilizes her human service skills as a Full Spectrum Doula, providing unwavering support and emotional grounding across the birth continuum. Whether supporting clients through birth, adoption, new parenthood, fostering, or navigating child welfare challenges, her expertise in Human Services, Social Work, and birth work training allows her to specialize in diverse family dynamics.

With over two decades of experience in human services and education, she alchemizes her heritage, education, vocational experience, and critical Black Feminist worldview to create somatic sites of liberation for Black individuals. As a first-generation Black, queer, millennial woman and art school graduate, Perpetual once normalized chaos to survive. Now, liberated and sovereign, she is committed to serving communities marginalized by anti-Blackness and capitalism, particularly within Boston's overlooked and institutionalized populations. Her experiences have cultivated deep empathy and compassion, driving her to prioritize human welfare and honor inherent value.

At 27, a diagnosis of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) led to a physician's prediction of potential fertility struggles, delivered without further discussion. This jarring experience ignited a two-year journey of self-education, navigating medical systems, and identifying holistic treatments. Perpetual recognized the severe neglect of cultural considerations in healthcare, particularly regarding the reproductive health of marginalized groups. This realization was compounded by a New York Times article highlighting the horrific birth experiences of Black mothers in the U.S., where the Black maternal death rate in 2019 was 47%, nearly quadruple the 12% rate for white women.

Three years later, in 2022, Perpetual birthed The Village, a global, mobile, Black Transnational Feminist Research Collective and Reproductive Justice Practice. Inspired by the Combahee River Collective, The Village cultivates a cultural ecosystem of support, experiences, and offerings dedicated to the unlearning, liberation, reproductive health, and pleasure of individuals who inhabit or interact with Black bodies."
