✨ The Oklahoma Women’s Luncheon was such a beautiful experience! ✨

I had the honor of being the keynote speaker and sharing on how we can care for the whole woman — from reproductive and hormonal health, to mental, emotional, spiritual well-being, and practical steps to help us truly take charge of our health. 🙌🏽

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to pour into other women — and equally grateful for how they poured back into me. 💛 The energy, the stories, the sisterhood — it was powerful.

A huge thank you to for inviting me and for hosting such an intentional and uplifting event. Can’t wait for the next one! 🌸

Our first article with with 21ninety, a spin-off from Blavity, that caters to young black women, is now live 🤍

“ There’s been a rise in at-home births in the U.S. They’ve reached their highest level in 30 years. Increased education and awareness about childbirth options have caused the increase says LaKesha Owon Johnson, a traditional midwife at Greenwood Midwifery and Integrative Health.

“Families today are more informed about their rights and the comparative benefits of home versus hospital births,” she said. “At-home births give families more power and authority to make choices that are best for their family.” “
