Breastfeeding isn’t magic.
It’s physiology, immunity, regulation, and long-term health—working quietly in the background.

This isn’t about pressure.
It’s about understanding the advantage.

Save this. Share it.
And if you need a break down of benefits let’s talk!

If you’re expecting, please hear me with love:
Don’t hold your bladder.
Don’t skip your water.

I was induced because my amniotic fluid was low and later learned dehydration played a major role.
Sometimes it’s the simple things that support your body.

Sip throughout the day.
Take the bathroom break.
Protect your peace and your pregnancy.

Doulas don’t just step in the room, we shift the whole vibe.
Birth gets louder, stronger, and more powerful when real support shows up.

I’m talking calm in the chaos.
Clarity when things get messy.
Advocacy when the pressure hits different.

Every parent deserves a squad that moves with them, not against them.
A doula who knows the rhythm, the flow, the energy of birth.

’Cause let’s be clear…
Support ain’t extra, it’s essential.
And when your team stay vigilant?
Your whole birth story hits different.

For the most part…
The way you got baby into this world is the same way you get them out.
Rhythm. Breath. Patience. Pressure. Presence.
Your body’s wisdom isn’t new — it’s just finally getting a chance to speak up.

Birth isn’t random. Birth isn’t chaotic.
Birth is a pattern your body already knows how to follow.

✨ Trust your rhythm, trust your cues, trust your voice.

Let’s talk about why this matters for labor prep, comfort, and advocacy ⬇️

I’m gonna be real for a second…
Watching my mom navigate end-stage renal failure while trying to figure out Medicare, Medicaid, bills, services, options — NOBODY prepares you for how lonely and confusing this part is.

She just found out she qualifies for Medicaid… and no one told her. Not at diagnosis. Not during treatment. Not while the bills piled up. Not while she worried herself sick trying to figure out how to afford the care she literally needs to survive.

And this is the part that gets me:
So much of her stress could’ve been avoided if someone — anyone — had taken 2 minutes to guide her.
A pamphlet. A conversation. A referral. Something.

Instead, I’m sitting here doing the research, making the calls, reading the policies, advocating for her because the people who are supposed to support patients… just don’t.

We know they’re overwhelmed.
We know the system is broken. But either way, families are carrying weights they shouldn’t have to carry.

If you’re caring for a parent or loved one and feeling lost, you’re not crazy, you’re not unprepared — the system is confusing on purpose.
But you deserve clarity, support, and someone to say:
“Here’s what you’re eligible for. Here’s what this means. Here’s what’s next.”

I’m sharing this so somebody else doesn’t go months without knowing they qualify for help.
We’re getting my mom straight now — but Lord… it should NOT be this hard.

Being quiet doesn’t get you better care… it just makes you easier to overlook.

You can be respectful and speak up.
A calm “I’d like to understand my options” holds more power than a quiet yes you didn’t mean.

You’re not difficult.
You’re determined.
Advocacy isn’t attitude.
It’s awareness.

We found the sunlight at cocktail hour and did what any fun married couple does — set the camera up and acted up a little.
Good vibes, soft glam, and Black love that stays glowing. Melanin was made for this light.
🤎✨

Soft glam, grown love, good music.
Friday night, but make it intentional.
💍✨ with my love

What yall doing tonight?

Advocacy shouldn’t feel like a stunt, but too often it does. My job is to help you stay confident, clear, and supported when the system gets unpredictable.

These videos are hard to watch, but the truth is this: when you’re in labor and something feels wrong or you’re not being heard, it’s almost impossible to think clearly in the moment. That’s why having tools ahead of time matters.

Here are steps you can take if you ever find yourself in a situation where you need clarity, support, or someone to listen:

✨ Ask the questions. “What are my options?” “What happens if we wait?”
✨ Ask for plain language. You deserve explanations you fully understand.
✨ Request more support. Ask for the charge nurse, patient advocate, patient liaison, patient relations, or house supervisor.
✨ Have important numbers saved.
• Your provider’s office
• The on-call medical exchange
• The hospital’s patient advocate/patient relations
✨ State your boundaries. “Do not touch me without my consent.”
✨ Know policy vs preference. Not everything presented as “policy” actually is.
✨ Pause everything if needed. You can ask for time to think, breathe, and gather support.

None of this is about confrontation. It’s about preparation.
Having a plan gives you confidence, and confidence gives you options.

Black families deserve safety, respect, and clear answers at every step.
If you need more advocacy tools, I’m here for you. 🖤

Advocacy isn’t aggression. It’s clarity.

Speaking up doesn’t make you “difficult,” it makes you informed.
You’re allowed to ask questions, slow the room down, and protect your peace without raising your voice.

Advocacy is calm.
Advocacy is confident.
And when you learn the language of your choices, you walk into birth, postpartum, and every appointment with power, not permission.
