As we find ourselves at the intersection of many concurrent wars and environmental crises, Queen Hollins teaches us how to regenerate our health, daily lives and communities in multi-generational ritual and reverence of the Earth.

Earth Doula holds at-home practices for stewarding the air, the water, our bodies, the ancestors, children, and our futures. Queen’s lineages of Black Southern and Indigenous healing modalities combine with her lived experience as a queer Black Earthworker and teacher for so many communities from her surrounding Long Beach City, and beyond. 

Earth Doula is a necessary lore coming at the perfect time when humanity has run out of time. This book restores us to a state of gratitude and interdependence by training us to become doulas in the rebirthing of a sustainable planet. The ecosystems and all beings here are our relatives, and we have a responsibility to them. Queen teaches us to see nature as our Teacher and narrates how to access Earth medicine, keep our immune system strong, and heal with the land.

This reference book comes to life with illustrations by Sarita Doe, Jenny Montalvo, and Jasmine Nyende.

Projected physical and digital release in summer 2024.

“This is not just a book. It is a door. Queen Hollins is showing us how to return lovingly to our oldest and most important relationship: our relationship with Earth as Earth. In book form Queen makes decades of teaching and practice accessible to the world. Which means that you are holding the key to a vibration and a calling that has already changed the lives of multitudes, myself included. You are holding the key, open your heart and move through the door!”
