Amazing raffle! Don’t miss out!

Summer is ending... time for the next adventure. Doula studies 2021 and my 2nd year of Uni... plus new and returning clients... motherhood... and a worldwide pandemic. We are surviving. I say bring it on! Sending love and strength to all the folks making tough decisions and embarking on busy weeks ahead. Xo

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted on here, and my silence has had some purpose. The summer semester was a busy one compounded with the pandemic and overall social justice unrest in the world. It’s heavy, and sometimes social media promotion is hard to focus on. However, I realize that’s not sustainable, and I need to stay connected. I’m here, and I’m supporting my clients in the best ways I can during this time. I’m working on my new protocols for support and revamping... my site and my offerings. I’m attempting to shake off this intense grief and fear and work on my passion for doula work. Another year of doula studies is coming up and another year of university. Things look different now, but the path is still clear. I hope everyone stays safe and is listening and learning from these life lessons thrown at us. If you need a doula, please do not hesitate to message me. I am striving for flexibility and working diligently to provide the right type of support for my families.

The inequities in pregnancy, birth, and lactation support for Black families is well documented. We know it is an issue. But what does that look like in real li...fe? This graphic takes a look at the very real challenges. White privilege does not mean that white people do not have struggles or that they don't experience these difficulties. It means that their struggles and their experiences with these difficulties are NOT because of the color of their skin. It means that statistically they are less likely (not that it is impossible) to experience these things. It means that they do not encounter these challenges based solely on their skin tone. It means they aren't followed through a store because of their skin. They may be followed through a store but it would be for a different reason. White people pointing out that they have experienced these things doesn't prove that white privilege doesn't exist. *Racist comments will be deleted and the users that make them will be banned from this page. Supportive, kind, caring comments welcomed from everyone. Black people and WOC are welcome to make comments that reflect the reality of ongoing and past trauma, anger, fear, grief, etc. White people, do not center yourself in this conversation, do NOT comment "all lives matter" or some version of it, do not ask Black people to educate you or guide you as to what you should do, and do not argue anything about knowing the whole story. For white people who would like to understand how they have privilege even if they don’t think they have privilege, if you need some resources after you do some googling, let us know. Thank you.
