I want to grow into becoming a woman who mothers with such intention, love, and grace. Her parenting styles build so much positive self-esteem.
When you make a mistake whose voice do you hear? Are you berating yourself, calming yourself, or reassuring and problem solving?
Want to know where your ideas and reaction on mistakes come from? You guess it, your childhood (unless you have done self work to correct)

God continues to impress upon my heart that what is for you will never miss you.
No time, distance, obstacle, weakness, even your own desires… will stand in the way of what was always destined to be yours. It simply cannot miss you.

I can go *to* the pt because it’s community medicine. FM allows you to practice anywhere, including on the streets for marginalized care. I’ll be authorized to see anyone—womb to tomb. And I also plan to deliver babies.

Someone told me that when I vote I should go in thinking of Black disabled queer women of a nonmajority faith who live in the rural South. When I vote, I have acknowledged everyone’s needs and considered the non-represented in our society.
Haven’t voted wrong since.
Thank you Gen Z.
Thank you Black women.
Thank you minoritized people fighting and voting for a better world.
Now, we really need to make sure you are listened to and get your seats at the table and are heard and appreciated.💖

My great-grandmother was a midwife in Union Springs/Tuskegee for close to 60 years. Elevating the stories of how this state went from hundreds of Black midwives to none should be told more widely. Pushed out of practice because of the threat to majority physicianship.
Lets support Dr. Stephanie Mitchell, CNM, of Birth Santuary, in N. Alabama. She is the only Black CNM in the state of Alabama.
And I pray that CNM’s and CPM’s in these states of low midwife numbers can and will together to improve birth and maternal outcomes for all.
