9 in 10 mothers didn’t have to die. Read that again. Giving birth in the US is deadlier than in all our peer countries. If you’re a Black mother, your risk triples. If you’re an Indigenous (American Indian and Alaska Native) mother, it more than doubles. Every year 50,000+ women walk out of delivering their baby(ies) with trauma that doesn’t end at discharge. But we have a proven solution: midwifery care. We just don’t fund it…yet Congress can fund care for mothers right now through the Midwives for MOMS Act. Want to help in 30 seconds? Comment HELP below and I’ll DM you the direct link to email your lawmakers. It auto-fills everything. Babies need their mothers. Let’s make sure more moms get to come home. Because a safe birth should not be a privilege, it should be a right. And none of us would be here without the mother who birthed us. So whether you are a mother, love a mother or have ever needed a mother. This is your fight too. Thank you @npwf for all your work and efforts to help families in honoured to raise awareness for all you do. Thank you to my incredible birth team @anyadjumabaev @emmyrobbindoula for not only a safe birth but the beautiful empowering birth of my dreams. 📚 Data sources: Commonwealth Fund – The High Costs of Maternal Morbidity (2021) commonwealthfund.org National Partnership for Women & Families – Improving Our Maternity Care Now (2023) nationalpartnership.org CDC – Maternal Mortality Review Committee data on preventable deaths cdc.gov/mmrc #MaternalHealth #MaternalMortality #BirthEquity #ReproductiveJustice #MidwiferyCare

I’m so happy I switched to Jolie. It removes chlorine, heavy metals and other contaminants so your skin isn’t fighting irritation and your hair isn’t stripped dry. It’s been one simple change with big results. I literally installed it in two minutes, no plumber needed. Plus it’s beautiful. It’s the gift you don’t just unwrap once, you see the benefits every single day. So if you’re someone who struggles with dry, irritated skin, or your hair just stays dull, switching to @jolieskinco could really help without changing or adding any more products.

NYC you really showed up for us 🥹 thank you 🫶 This was our first ever public pop up event and I can only compare the nerves to when you’re little and wondering if anyone will actually show up to your birthday party 🫣 So it blew my mind when there was a line around the block!!!! And so many of my close friends and loved ones (some I haven’t seen since before 2020) all came to support - it truly meant the world. Celebrating @Saltair Coral Coast our newest scent collection with our very first Saltair pop up felt so surreal (I cried more than once). Beyond proud of this moment and so grateful for my one of a kind team who went above and beyond and made it all feel like a dream. The vibes were truly immaculate ✨ Soooooo where should we pop up next lmk? 👀 . #Saltair #SelfCare #BodyCare #femalefounder #SmellGood
