Before the first breath,
the first cry, the first touch... there was the cord. The first poem of existence.

An intricate, pulsing lifeline, formed in the sacred darkness of the womb, where time bends and the unseen takes shape.

A holy bridge of becoming, through which nourishment, breath, and ancestral memory flowed.

A silent architect, weaving a universe between two heartbeats, mother and child tethered in a sacred choreography of creation.

The cord transcends biology. It is a symbol for all life-giving connections; the unseen threads of love, support, heritage, and spirit that nourish us throughout our lives.

It speaks to the fundamental truth that we are all brought forth into being through connection, sustained by intricate networks of giving and receiving, visible and invisible.🙏🏿✨️

There’s a profound transformation that happens after you give birth that doesn’t get talked about enough. You don’t just birth a baby, you rebirth yourself. The person who emerges is irrevocably changed; softer in your edges yet fiercer in your love and a deepened perception. You now carry wisdom not just in your mind but in your bones, your breath, your scars.

Giving birth is a sacred metamorphosis.🌀 When we honor this threshold, we nurture more than the mother. We root families in strength. A mother granted space to heal teaches her community the language of tenderness. A mother anchored in her power raises children who recognize their inherent worth. A mother seen in her fullness becomes a compass, a living example of resilience and a quiet storm of wisdom for generations to come.💪🏾

Yet too often, we rush her, urging her to shrink back into a world that no longer aligns with the vastness of who she’s become. A mother is not a problem to solve; she is a bridge. Her transformation is the soil from which families grow, societies bloom, and cycles of care begin.

To mend our fragmented world, we must tend to mothers as the sacred alchemists that they are. We must make space for their becoming, not out of obligation, but because their wholeness is the bedrock of our collective future. She deserves this. And in honoring her, we honor ourselves.

🎬 The 1972 revolutionary documentary, "Code Blue," exposed the harsh realities of systemic racism in American healthcare, that many refused to see. Over 50 years later, Trump’s policies prove systemic racism evolves, but never dies. Black women are still fighting for bodily autonomy, in hospitals AND at the ballot box.

The more things change...

🔴 THEN & NOW
• Black maternal mortality was 2x higher in 1972 → Now 3x higher and up to 12x higher depending on the state
• Pain under-treatment was documented → Still persists today
• Medical deserts existed → 80% of Black ZIP codes still lack trauma centers

This isn't history. It's today's emergency!

If reinventing the wheel was a hospital initiative...🙄 ACOG ( American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) has released "new" guidance advocating for a transformation in U.S. prenatal care delivery.

On paper, it sounds revolutionary, but the truth is that patient-centered care takes money out of hospitals. Hospitals and large health systems profit from volume, not value. From interventions, not continuity. From short visits, not relationship-based care. Patient-centered models that involve listening, collaborating, and slowing down enough to meet real needs, are less profitable in a system built around billing codes and procedure counts.

Until hospitals and insurers are willing to invest in relationship-based care, and in the people who have always provided it, I’ll continue to trust midwives, not memos.✊🏿

Holding space for others is a profound act of presence, patience, and compassion. In a world that often glorifies emotional labor as effortless or even performative, we’ve made it look easy. The truth is, holding space is neither easy nor always pleasant.

Those who truly master this art have first learned to sit with their own pain, navigate their own shadows, and hold space for themselves in moments of grief, uncertainty, and discomfort. Only by doing this inner work can we extend that same grace to others.

Witnessing someone in their rawest state and allowing them the dignity of their own process, without judgment, without rushing the process, or making it about ourselves, is true presence. This is the real work of holding space.✨️

Even when people fail to hold space, the earth still does- the trees, the wind, the sky, none demand anything from us. They simply witness. Perhaps that is part of the lesson, not everyone can hold space, but we can always return to the places and experiences that do. What a gift.

Happy World Doula Week!!!

To all the doulas out there, 🗣 your work matters!! You are pillars of strength, guides through the unknown, and keepers of sacred space.✨️ Many of my career highs have been in the capacity of a doula. There’s something profoundly sacred about walking alongside someone as they bring life into the world, witnessing their strength, their vulnerability, and their power.

To the families who allowed me into their journeys, thank you! You allowed me to do meaningful work, and for that, I’m forever grateful.

If you’ve ever considered becoming a doula, do it! The world needs more compassionate, knowledgeable support. And if you’ve been supported by one, take a moment to thank them this week. 💛

That post-birth meal hits DIFFERENT. 🤤

What was your experience with eating (or not eating) during labor? 🌸 What was the first thing you ate after giving birth? Drop it in the comments! 👇🏿

You don't inherited the genes your parents were born with, you inherit the genetic expression of their genes during the time of conception. Stress, trauma, diet, and lifestyle choices don’t just affect s***m health, they extend beyond conception, shaping the pregnancy, fetal health, and even long-term health outcomes for the child.

Happy Black Midwives Day to all the midwives who are changing the world one birth at a time! I am honored to stand in the legacy of the original birth workers- preserving the sacred traditions, care, and strength that have carried Black folks through history.

The work of Black midwives is more than a profession; it's a calling rooted in love, survival, and the continuity of life. We are the bridge between generations, the keepers of birth, the protectors of motherhood. To honor Black midwives is to honor the sacred lineage of healing, resilience, and life itself. This legacy lives on.🙏🏿✨️

You are not here by accident. You are here with purpose. Your presence, ideas and dreams all matter. Your existence is essential. The world needs you, not a smaller, quieter, or diluted version of you, but the whole, authentic, unapologetic you.

Stand tall. Take up space. Speak your truth. Honor your journey. The world is brighter, richer, and more beautiful place because you are part of it.✨️

✨️Thoughts on Motherhood✨️

Motherhood has been the most profound teacher and has stretched me in ways I never expected. It has demanded the highest level of patience, sacrifice, and unconditional love; and has shown me strength I never knew I had and vulnerability I never thought I’d embrace.

I've learned that time is fleeting, and the smallest moments- walks in our favorite green spaces, looong goodnight hugs, midday tickle sessions and deep belly laughs- are the ones that are most important.

Some of my favorite leasons have been in slowing down, listening deeply, and trusting myself even when doubt creeps in. But the greatest lesson is that love expands endlessly. Just when I think my heart is full, it stretches even more.

To all the mamas out there, what has motherhood taught you? 💛✨
