Gon' on and save this so you can share with the family group chat

Because something is common doesn't make it normal!

Asking women about their menstrual cycles and birth control is a part of my intake process BECAUSE birth control and reproductive issues such as Fibroids and PCOS can impact our moods. Oftentimes exacerbating symptoms indicative of anxiety and depression.

Many women, especially those from marginalized communities, rely on birth control for managing debilitating reproductive health issues like painful, irregular, or heavy cycles.

The Washington Post missed a crucial opportunity to address the historical trauma inflicted upon women of color, who were subjected to experimentation without consent in the development of these very contraceptives. When we simplify the complex decisions women make about their bodies to mere susceptibility to misinformation, we're not just missing the point—we're perpetuating a form of 'man-splaining' that undermines women's autonomy and expertise over their own health.

As a mental health professional and an advocate for the empowerment of all women, it's vital to challenge narratives that simplify women's health decisions. Especially so, without acknowledging the historical trauma endured by marginalized women in the development of reproductive health interventions.

Bell Hooks said, "Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion." from All about Love, p. 215...

Healing and community is not new to the history of black, brown, and indigenous folx. We have always understood that healing is a collective practice that nurtures and promotes, liberation and growth. We understood that when one member of the community is wounded and hurt, it resonated and impacted us all.

But through the separation, violence, and attempted erasure that came with colonization, we are finding our way back to communion. We are seeking communal healing. Here's a few tips on how we can continue to revive communal healing:
👍🏾 Engage in dialogue and actively LISTEN. Let's continue to create safe spaces for us to be vulnerable.
👍🏾Seek out and participate in networks that prioritize community well-being, safety, and healing.
👍🏾 Celebrate PROUDLY, LOUDLY, and UNAPOLOGETICALLY our cultural traditions and rituals.
👍🏾 Support one another's growth and healing journeys.
👍🏾 Educate yourself so that we can educate future generations about the importance of our history, ancestors, the impact of trauma, and communal healing.

Energy is everything. Your energy will speak before you open your mouth. Oftentimes a woman can feel whether or not she will be safe with a man before moving forward with any type of interaction.

When I met my partner, I was a single mother put here in these DMV streets! I was feeling the woes of the end of my relationship with the kid's father and whatever fairytale I created in my head for us...

My partner was gentle, patient, safe and consistent.

He did not demand anything from me. He did not command me to submit. We never had conversations about him being an, "alpha male" .

For me, I chose to submit to the relationship and him because:

👍🏾 He listened to me and heard what I didn't say.
👍🏾 He showed me he was willing and able to also be submissive.
👍🏾 He understood that leading also involved following.
👍🏾 He was consistent
👍🏾 He was willing to create a space of safety

These are things that I grew up seeing from my grandfather, father, brother, and uncles. The men in my life were leaders not because they said they were or demanded. But because their energy spoke to safety and consistency, kindness, and tenderness. People got to choose them...

How many times have you heard your grandparents, aunt, or uncles say, "...I don't trust no doctor?"

I've heard it more times than I could count. But, the conversation went no further than the before mentioned statement.

There were so many traumatic things happening to black, brown, and indigenous communities that have not been talked about. Not having autonomy over their bodies has affected us; past, present, and future.

As a provider, in seeing so many of my colleagues working diligently to unlearn the harmful ideologies that reinforce the mistrust our communities have for the medical/mental health field.

To truly build rapport and nurture relationships of mutual respect among marginalized communities, we have to validate the experiences of these communities and understand why there is mistrust to begin with.

How does intergenerational trauma work look?

It looks like having difficult and uncomfortable conversations with your tiny humans.

It looks like parenting yourself so that you can raise your children.

It looks like pouring into your children in ways you were not poured into.

It looks like empowering your tiny humans and nurturing the friendship you are building with them. Because you are their first friend, teacher, role model, and supporter.

It looks like letting them know that:
👉🏿 They have autonomy over their bodies even with YOU.
👉🏿 Their reproductive system is not something to be ashamed of. Correct names of body parts and reproductive left are okay to use.
👉🏿 No one gets to silence them. They are comfortable using their voice and advocating for themselves.
👉🏿 They get to create their own life. They do not live for us.
👉🏿 Our love for them is unconditional and is their birth right. They do not have to audition for our love, affection, or support.

What are some things you feels are important for your children to know and understand?

How many times have you been asked what success is to you?

It's a question that is asked often but I truly am curious if the answers have been given thought.

5 years ago, my answer to this question would have been completely different. I would have listed off financial gains and tangible accomplishments. While these things are important, I've learned the value of something much more powerful.

Success to me is being at peace in the life I've built and that I am building.

Truth is, you can have all the accomplishments, awards, etc., and not be at peace. This could be because you have created success around someone else's idea of what it is or you've outgrown what you're currently doing.

Whatever success means to you just make sure that it aligns with your peace.

Trying to figure out how to manage tantrums with tiny humans who aren't so tiny anymore?! 👀

You know how you deal? Pretty much the same way you managed them when they were tiny.

Yes, I know their tantrums look differently now that they're older, stronger, and damn near your height.

Yes, I know they're trigger the fawk out of you. But they aren't responsible for your triggers, you are.

I also understand how difficult it is to not buck back (lawd know I do!) But, trust me the strain that it may cause in your relationship with your child isn't worth it.

So, here's what you can do:
👉🏿 Don't match their tone.
👉🏿 Validate their feelings, "...I can see you're..."
👉🏿 Suggest you both take a break and give a timeframe when you'll check back in with them.
👉🏿 Take that time to regulate yourself and practice intentional movement to move that energy through and out of the body.
👉🏿 When you come back together participate in a reconnection activity. This will reinforce trust and safety.
👉🏿 Talk about boundaries, effective ways to communicate frustration/anger when things are calm.
