This past weekend I attended the Conference and I’m still in awe of what I experienced.
This was my first time attending since I only joined NBMA not too long ago, and I traveled to the conference by myself. I had quite a few moments where I had to push myself to step out of my comfort zone (because I’m actually very shy lol) and introduce myself to people. But I’m so glad I did.
Being surrounded by so many different Black midwives was something I can’t fully put into words. It was powerful to be in a space filled with women continuing a legacy that has existed in our communities for generations.
I left feeling so full of love, encouragement, and even more sure that midwifery is what I was called to do.
Special thank you to .midwifery for inviting me out to celebrate her birthday while we were there. That moment helped me meet so many amazing midwives and definitely helped me break out of my shell!
I’m grateful for the knowledge that was shared throughout the conference, but most of all the community. Truly thankful for this experience 🤎
