As for her plan to introduce both her kids to sports, Felix says she’s excited to “show them everything.”

“And we’ve been doing that with my daughter. She’s playing tennis, she’s swimming, she’s having fun, she’s being a kid. And so I just want her to try everything and maybe she’ll find something that she enjoys,” the mom of two shares. “All that matters is fun.”

“We are overjoyed to welcome our son Kenneth Maurice Ferguson III, who we will lovingly call Trey,” Felix told PEOPLE in a statement. “Born April 10th at 10:55 pm, weighing 7 lbs., 11 oz.”

“As a Black woman who already had been through atraumatic life-threatening deliverywith my daughter, I desperately wanted a joyful birth experience I could celebrate. I’m so grateful I had a doctor who saw me, heard me and made me feel safe.”

“I had a doula who supported, guided and believed in me. I was able to have the unmedicated VBAC I deeply desired. The entire experience was powerful, challenging, healing and so beautiful. My birth experience inspires me to continue to advocate for Black maternal health and the outcomes we can achieve when we listen [to] and support women,” she said.
