Carrie loves world travel, books, live music, dancing, animals and nature. Her bucket list is overflowing and includes swimming with sperm whales in Dominica, hiking the West Highland Way, living at an artist’s retreat center to finish writing her book, and finding a 17th century coin with her metal detector. She and her husband live in a home they built by themselves with two dogs and two cats in the woods. In her spare time, she has worked as a midwife for nearly 25 years in various settings throughout Delaware, including at Planned Parenthood and at the Perdue chicken factory women’s clinic. She has precepted over 35 midwifery students, most of whom have become her friends and colleagues. 

Hadja Diallo currently practices in Philadelphia, where she focuses on building real, trusting relationships and ensuring her clients and families feel empowered. Hadja has partnered with many groups in Philadelphia to help close care gaps and support families in meaningful, culturally grounded ways. Above all, she believes midwives are a powerful public health force—and essential to ending maternal mortality. Hadja lives in Delaware with her husband and their three children. She enjoys learning about different cultures and traditions, spending time with friends and family, traveling, and sharing good food with people she loves. She especially enjoys listening to the soothing sounds of the kora, a traditional West African instrument that reminds her of home. One of Hadja’s biggest hopes is to return to her native country, Guinea, one day to work in maternal–child health and help train the next generation of midwives.

She is an avid crocheter and crafter, loves gardening and is very actively raising two children, two cats and one cute puppy.
