I originally posted this to my page on October 13th, 2023. Months before, I had a dream I was standing in front of a huge pile of broken concrete.

What happened? I wondered.

I thought the Gardiner expressway (an old overpass near my home) had fallen down.

And then, when I began to see images of families and children being pulled from the rubble, this dream flashed before my eyes.

We have arrived at “devastating humanitarian consequences” and gone way beyond.

We now know exactly how a genocide happens, and how silence enables it.

As the tide is slowly turning on being vocal about this ongoing tragedy, I’m holding space for those who are the most vulnerable (intersectionality) and who, despite the consequences, have been raising awareness for a long time.

Their voices and tireless labour have paved the way.

💯 this. Most of my days are spent with babies and supporting families with a diverse range of ethnic backgrounds. I could never stay silent. Every baby and child is a whole world, an entire future. A multitude of generations.

Why isn’t everyone saying something? What am I missing? They see the same little bones protruding from babies. They see the same family of 12 around one bowl of soup. They see children without legs. They see children with burned bodies. They see parent’s anguish about their children’s deaths and children’s anguish of parents deaths. And because they are Palestinian they are SIlENT?! Because it’s a bit hard (absolutely nothing compared to what they go through) they sit back silently? I feel like I’m in a nightmare where no one sees what is happening but the true nightmare is that they do and they don’t care?! Do war crimes, especially war crimes against babies and children, not have any consequences if the children are born in a certain place?! 17,000 children can be killed without the world reacting? How are celebrities and leaders who always speak out about injustice silent while seeing what we are seeing?! What if it was you and your child?

💯 this. This is intersectionality. Who knew that I would need to advocate in every sphere of my life from the personal to professional, and as a parent of a neurodiverse child, but it has definitely been a masterclass in navigating relationship/power dynamics, facilitating crucial conversations, and bringing deep truths to the surface.

For anyone else walking this path, this fierceness burns a lot of energy. We need periods of rest and recovery ❤️

It’s heartbreaking to think about the legacy we are leaving our children. And how it is becoming more dangerous and unsafe for children all around the world. We are all responsible.

Business as usual left the chat a very long time ago.

I know what I don’t want to see. Celebrities eating food and doing their skincare while the world is literally burning.

These precious babies in Sudan deserve to have the food they need. They deserve for the world to see them. 💔🌎

3.6 million children under the age of five are suffering from malnutrition and in the hardest hit areas, more than one in three children are acutely malnourished.

continues to do everything they can for families throughout Sudan, supporting over 3 million people each month.

As a new parent, setting healthy boundaries and having difficult conversations is hard and also an opportunity to find your voice.

Having open conversations and raising awareness about perinatal mental health is so important.

In the interview, we are specifically discussing postpartum anxiety, which is one of the most common PMADs we see among our clients (perinatal mood and anxiety disorders).

I’m so grateful to Dyneisha and Olivia for their generously sharing their experience and wisdom.

Sadly, many people still suffer in silence.

Please share widely the information and resources, you could make a difference in someone’s life.
