On MLK Day, I reflect on this image of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with Coretta Scott King and their daughter Yolanda — a reminder that movements are carried by families, and often by women whose strength is rarely named.

The dream Dr. King spoke of must also include a healthcare system where women are safe during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. For too many Black women, that dream has not yet been realized. Maternal health equity is civil rights work.

As a midwife, nurse, and advocate, I believe we honor Dr. King by transforming care — listening to women, confronting bias, and building systems that protect life with dignity and respect. The dream still lives, and so does the responsibility to make it real.

Thank you Tiffany Vassell, MS, RN for spreading love by donating several copies of your book, Preparation for a Hospital Birth, to Lucinda’s House. This is one of my favorite resources to share with families as they prepare for their birth journeys inside and outside of the hospital. We are so grateful for your generosity and commitment to empowering birthing people with knowledge.

“It takes a village.”
When I reflect on 2025, those words truly capture the heart of this year. Lucinda’s House would not have had such a meaningful and successful year without the incredible support of our community. Thank you to everyone who donated, volunteered, helped organize events, and lifted us up with words of encouragement. Your support carried me through even the toughest days and gave me the strength to keep going.
I am deeply grateful to the moms and families who trusted me and allowed me to be part of their pregnancy and postpartum journeys—it is truly an honor.
As we look ahead to 2026, I am excited to continue this work, grounded in community, love, and collective care.

Becoming Midwives: A Mentoring & Support Network for Black & Brown Students ✨
Connecticut & Western Massachusetts
Lucinda’s House is launching a mentoring and support group for Black and Brown midwifery students this January—rooted in the legacy of traditional Black midwives who have always worked together to support one another and challenge structural barriers in healthcare.
This space is designed for students navigating advanced midwifery education who want:
• Community and connection
• Support through clinical and academic challenges
• Mentorship and professional growth
• A place to be seen, heard, and affirmed
Together, we will explore topics like: Clinical transitions, Navigating racism and bias in training, Leadership and career pathways, Research and scholarship, Wellness, sustainability, and collective care
If you are a Black or Brown midwifery student in CT or Western Mass and would like to join, please message me directly to express interest.

Rest and relaxation are essential for healing, clarity, and sustainability. As we close this year, I’m grounding myself in self-care so I can continue showing up for families and communities in 2026. Lucinda’s House is ready for what’s next. ✨
