Erykah Badu Tells Desus and Mero What It's Like to Be a Doula

The iconic musician visited the VICELAND show to talk about death and childbirth.

Erykah Badu might be one of the most prolific artists out there today, but she has another job she's passionate about—being a doula.

When she visited Desus & Mero on Thursday, the singer, who's hosting this year's Soul Train Awards, shared what inspired her to become a doula, a role in which she helps people at the beginning of their lives through childbirth, and the end of their life, in death.

You can watch last night’s Desus & Mero for free online now, and be sure to catch new episodes weeknights at 11 PM on VICELAND.
