Being a doula feels like true purpose for @yayadacosta. ✨ She shares how the role found her and why it means so much.

@yayadacosta talks about her powerful new @lifetimetv film “Not My Family,” based on the true story of Monique Smith. She also opens up about how her modeling and reality TV beginnings nearly held her back in Hollywood.
So excited to be pairing my @wrapsnraps with the talented student designers at The Fashion Institute of Technology! Their theme is AfroFuturist Fashion, and my new invention in the ancient art of crown adornment is a perfect match! The registration link is in my stories! 👑
