My work as a postpartum doula and community tender is political.

Here’s the thing: families are being built within flawed and oppressive systems

I support parents during one of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives. I see how policies, economic priorities, racism, violence, displacement, and political decisions show up in real bodies—especially postpartum bodies. Stress isn’t abstract. Trauma isn’t theoretical. It lives in nervous systems, in sleep deprivation, in anxiety, in grief.

You can’t build community care while ignoring the systems that keep communities unsafe.
You can’t support families while pretending that the world shaping their lives is neutral.
And you can’t claim care while staying silent about harm.

Community building means asking hard questions about what—and who—our governments choose to protect, fund, celebrate, and ignore. It means understanding that decisions made far away still land at kitchen tables, in birthing rooms, and in the early weeks of parenthood.

So yes, my work is political.
Because I believe families deserve safety and dignity.
Because I believe babies deserve a future shaped by care, not harm.
Because neutrality has never protected the most vulnerable. 💜

About:
As a woman pregnant, with a baby she was told she could probably never have because of her PCOS, I was already fearful of my body's ability to maintain the pregnancy.When I started to read about the changes a woman's body is supposed to make in preparation for lactation and realized that my body had yet to do so, my body insecurities really came into play. When I shared these lactation-specific fears with supposed "support"; I not only did I get no comfort in the matter, these insecurities about my ability to lactate would be used against me once the baby arrived. Thus creating this trauma narrative that if I couldn't do it on my own, or needed any help in any way I was a failure and should just give up to formula, because it was the "easier" choice. That trauma & experience fueled my breastfeeding goal to go as long as possible, and for as long as my son wanted it, which is ongoing to this day and we will keep going for as long as it is demanded. Realizing that needing help isn't a failure, after struggling by myself, and seeing other moms easily get help and support. (and therapy). I allowed myself to welcome that help and support. I realized that I needed to help someone who might also feel or think the same.
