Gratitude 🙏🏾, I am blessed to serve birthing persons and particularly to be a BIPOC doula.
As I evolve personally and professionally I am stepping outside of myself, my comfort zone, my fear of public speaking, social anxiety. I challenge myself and take baby steps to become more aligned with my purpose and passion- Birth work! The journey continues…

Thank you to Tiffany Cusaac for your interview and featuring me in your article . You brought much needed light to the importance of Black maternal health and the work of Black doulas on Long Island.

Pointers for Pumping:
Before you start pumping, be sure to measure your ni***es for an accurate fit for optimal milk removal. Most pumps come with a standard 24m fl**ge. What to look for?
🍼Just right👉🏾ni**le should comfortably be suctioned into the fl**ge.
🍼Too small👉🏾ni**le is rubbing tight against fl**ge when suction is on.
🍼Too big👉🏾 ar**la and ni**le are suctioned into fl**ge.
Benefits and When to Pump:
🍼increase your milk supply
🍼Flat ni***es 🍼inverted ni***es 🍼👶🏽👶🏼 twins 🍼after cesarean ( delayed onset of milk-)
🍼Breast Augmentation or reduction ***es ***es
