The government cannot stop you from informing others about their legal rights.

Know your rights when educating your community.

Hey #birthworkersofskyblue !
I’m looking to brush up & expand my library. I went back to DONA’s “Cultural Humility” books section & was a little underwhelmed.

Looking for book recommendations for these topics & communities - especially ones written by authors in these communities

For me:
"It's my right to hate, that's freedom of speech!"
When did freedom become a reason to hate?
A way to justify a racial slur or insult we make

Whenever my son is facing an experience that feels new or scary, I try to remain grounded, calm, & just remind him what being brave means:
It’s not an absence of fear.
✨It’s being afraid AND doing the scary thing anyway✨

This quote gives me a reciprocal feeling. Sharing in case you need it, too ❤️

Ditto! Glad to have found you and start building some community on here as well 🙏

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

If you've saved any pertinent CDC docs, send them to me at [email protected] and I'll host them on the site

For the parents, families, humans who especially need to hear this right now:
✨All people deserve to be nurtured.
✨All bodies are valid.
✨No human being is illegal.
✨Your body, your choice.
✨Love is love.

And I support you.

Recognizing these truths do not take anything away from me as a doula, woman, or mother.
It does, however, help me show up better for others. As a postpartum doula, my job is to show up and nurture the nurturers - the parents. To do that, parents need to feel safe, seen, and heard.

Birthwork is intersectional.
Birthwork is understanding how multiple systems of oppression and privilege can affect the postpartum experience: race, gender, ageism, ableism, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, immigration status…
