Y’all! It's still my birthday for less than one hour and I wanted to share two fundraisers that are close to my heart. ⁣
⁣
The first is in honor of my Dad who came to the US from Nigeria and earned his PhD at U-M along with a handful of Master's degrees. As some of you know, he peacefully transitioned to the next adventure with the Divine just four days after his birthday on Monday, 7/31/23. He was with my Mom during that beautiful and freeing time. He had also seen his children and grandchildren ahead of his transition. Our family has been receiving a lot of love and support, for which I am grateful.⁣
⁣
As my Dad used to say, "Eulogize me while I'm alive." My hope is that the ones we love and care for, are never in doubt about how we feel about them. We have started The Rev Dr Chibuzor Scholarship Fund, in his name, to support African and other international students when they come to the US for additional education. If you are so inclined, please contribute. Thank you to all who have already donated. Link in bio. ⁣
⁣
I'm also passionate about equal access to perinatal wellness for parents and babes, as such I'm the Board President of , a nonprofit dedicated to ensuring that the period immediately following birth is healthy and happy for all who are involved. ⁣
⁣
🩵 Did you know that by supporting perinatal wellness we save $14B annually from preventing postpartum depression? ⁣
⁣
🩵 Did you know that by breastfeeding 823,000 infants lives are saved?⁣
⁣
🩵 Did you know that 20,000 parents lives are already saved by breastfeeding?⁣
⁣
🩵 Did you know that by having human milk accessible to babies 72% of infant hospital admissions are prevented?⁣
⁣
Some of us are parents and some of us were able to nurse because we were supported, as a community, we are better when we take care of one another. ⁣
⁣
Thank you to all who have ever donated to any of my fundraisers.
⁣
This is 45! 🦋🌍🌿🦄⁣

Congrats Coco Gauff! And thank you for all the things especially inspiring little people who look like you AND for putting into words what many of us, who also look like you, feel.

Since the beginning of July, a former friend of mine, has been trying to cancel me professionally. She’s also a woman of color, yet, she’s not Black. She’s spread lies about me to other women and people of color, also not Black attempting to stop me from doing research. It’s sad. She also, has requested money that is rightfully mine multiple times as if the contributions of a Black woman are nill.

Her and her band of clowns energy is giving anti-Black.

If you have taken her word for it, and haven’t bothered to respond to me, or discuss with me, you’re also anti-Black. While it’s true that not all skinfolk are kinfolk, we sadly still have an anti-Black issue within communities of color.

I have forgiven her and the rest, and attempted to do the right thing and be “the bigger person,” and yet, with all of the loss I’ve experienced this year and more recently in the last two months, enough is enough and I need to call it out.

So if y’all believe you were and are putting water on my fire 🔥, let me disabuse you of that lie because you’re not. ✌🏾

ID: Quote by Coco Gauff (), “Thank you to the people that didn’t believe in me. ... To those who thought they were putting water on my fire, you were really adding gas to it.”

This picture was taken on Sunday, 6/18/23 — my parents’ 46th wedding anniversary, Father’s Day 2023, and one of my dear gf’s wedding day — and joy drop did not disappoint.⁣
⁣
I recently was elected to join the Board of Directors for , a nonprofit dedicated to perinatal wellness equity for all. Perinatal simply means “occurring during or pertaining to the phase surrounding the time of birth, from the twentieth week of gestation to the twenty-eighth day of newborn life.” ⁣
⁣
Becoming a mother, a dream of mine for over 20 years, did not happen on the timeline that I thought it would. And yet it’s been a perfectly imperfect journey. ⁣
⁣
And while I did end up on the ED (emergency department) three times during my pregnancy with joy drop, I was treated with respect, the urgency each visit required, collaboration, and competence. ⁣
⁣
My perinatal care did leave much to be desired, and yet, I left the hospital just over 24 hours after joy drop’s birth with her, a loving husband, and a kind hospital team member who checked that our car seat was put in correctly and that joy drop was all set in the back. ⁣
⁣
Even with my recent pregnancy loss, I was cared for well and surrounded by empathy, compassion, and understanding from my reproductive endocrinologist’s team. ⁣
⁣
Why am I sharing this? Because I want this to be available for all who are pregnant. Black maternal health is a big issue and one that continues to be an area of great struggle for this country. ⁣
⁣
With rights being challenged left and right (well from the right, let’s be honest), I want anyone who is pregnant, regardless of race/ethnicity, class, education level, immigration/citizenship status, state location, to be cared for with respect, appropriate urgency, collaboration, and competence. ⁣
⁣
I just made my first donation to Nurturely, will you join me today? When making your donation, please indicate in the field asking why you’re donating. Your gift to Nurturely supports prevention, equity, community, and wellness. ⁣

Yes, there are jokes and memes circulating and going viral galore. I’m legit not even focused on that…or the faux outrage about it. I am focused on people who are against safety regulations being taken out by safety regulations. And the amount of money spent on rescuing them or attempting to rescue them from foolish decisions.⁣
⁣
You know who could benefit from $6.5 million? ⁣
⁣
Flint, MI⁣
The state of Michigan⁣
Trans youth⁣
Trans adults⁣
Black women who want to start their own businesses⁣
Transracially adopted and displaced people ⁣
Africans who fled Ukraine ⁣
Disabled people⁣
⁣
This list is not by any means exhaustive. It is just me thinking of some of the most set aside and pushed to the margins group of people who are often invisible and yet folks are hyper focused on them in unhealthy ways.⁣
⁣
As members of humanity, we definitely have some work to do.⁣
⁣
ID: Quote by a Jacinda Townsend, “Can we talk about the pile of money we just spent on rescue efforts for five very rich people? From the coffers of four different countries. Estimates right now stand at $6,500,000. Think about all the social programs going unfunded. This should infuriate every single one of us.”⁣

So just a reminder that I celebrate pride June 1 to May 31. 💅🏾⁣
⁣
And also, it’s more than love is love. The agenda I have, is not “shoving anything” down anyone’s throat, but rather one of true empathy, compassion, and understanding. I want all LGBTQ+ folks to have all the rights and privileges as cishet folks — healthcare, privacy, love, healthcare (physical and mental), safety, job protection, security, and more. ⁣
⁣
A Florida teacher told the school board that the agenda is math and teaching the material that students need, not attempting to make them gay, which plot twist, some of them are gay, some are bi, some are trans, some are straight, some are cis, and some are le***an, some are q***r, some are questioning, some are asexual, some are fluid, some are pansexual, and some are without current language to accurately describe who they are. And all are students who deserve a complete and holistic, honest education. ⁣
