We don’t create a new way of caring for women and mothers by launching a new hospital.
You wouldn’t build a house by starting with the roof.
You’d start with a vision — an idea of how you want it to feel, how people will live inside it.
Then you’d gather the right people — planners, builders, makers.
And then, step by step, you’d begin.
Building a new system of care for women is the same.
We start small.
We start by imagining what should exist — because many of us have never actually seen it fully realised.
We don’t start with what we don’t want. We already know that.
We start by deeply, courageously thinking about what we do want.
And we start now.
Not later. Not once permission is granted. Not once the system catches up.
Today — right now — is where building begins.
And building?
That’s something women and midwives have always been extraordinarily good at. 💛
