May is Trauma Awareness Month.
For many women, birth is not only a life-changing experience. It can also be traumatic.
When Michelle Obama and Serena Williams speak openly about the dangers surrounding childbirth and the fear of not being heard, it reminds us how important education, advocacy, and support truly are.
“We cannot allow this trauma and lack of knowledge to pass down to the next generation.”
That work starts with conversations like these.

After Mother’s Day, keep showing up for her.
The flowers are beautiful.
The brunches are appreciated.
But real support continues long after the holiday ends.
Support can look like:
Checking in.
Helping carry the load.
Listening without judgment.
Advocating for mothers when they feel unheard.
Making sure women feel seen before, during, and after birth.
Mothers deserve more than celebration.
They deserve consistent care, support, and community.

Emergencies can happen at any time, and preparation can make all the difference. 💛
For pregnant and postpartum mothers, having essentials, important documents, and a plan in place can help keep both mom and baby safe during unexpected situations.
Take a moment to review this checklist and share it with a mother who may need it. 🤱🏾🧡

The Supreme Court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais is another reminder that the fight to protect the Voting Rights Act is far from over. Fair representation and equal voting access matters! Our voices matter!

Back at it again!
This past week I attended and presented at SOPHE’s @sophegram annual conference in Portland, Oregon. My presentation highlighted how we’re advocating for maternal health in Mississippi. @sixdims
I’m always grateful for the conversations, the connections, and the reminder that we’re building something bigger than us. 🤎
