🌿✨ ANNOUNCEMENT: The Wild Olive Grove Book Club & Meetup is HERE! ✨🌿

This winter, step into stillness, story, and sisterhood with us.
From January 11 – February 18, 2026, we’re gathering for a cozy five-week book club designed for women who crave connection, calm, and conversation during the cold months.

Together, we’ll be reading Before I Let Go by Kennedy Ryan — a powerful story of Black love, grief, healing, and second chances. Expect heartfelt discussion, gentle reflection, and a space where you can simply breathe.

What’s Included:
📱 Weekly affirmations, reflections, and prompts via private text group
📖 A beautifully chosen winter read honoring womanhood, love, and healing
🌿 Space to unwind, connect, and rest “in the shade”
🥂 Final in-person meetup on February 18 (Toni Morrison’s birthday!) with light hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and good company
👥 Only 10 spots available
💸 Registration: $10

Books and special bookmarks are available for purchase through us, or you’re welcome to bring your own copy (audio or print).

If you’ve been longing for community, soft conversation, or simply a warm place to land this winter — you’re welcome in the Grove.

I had the opportunity to talk about food insecurity and the Double Up Food Bucks program with an incredible group of advocates and community titans.

What really filled my heart, though, was having my parents there to witness me showing up for the community I’ve called home. Ya gurl was nervous, but I’m committed to speaking up and doing what’s right for the people who are too often unheard.

Great job to Mycitymyhealth for an amazing day of purpose, community, and advocacy. Let’s get to work!

To my incredible community—thank you. 🌿

Every referral, every kind word shared behind closed doors, each opportunity extended, and every time you show up—whether in person, online, or in spirit—it matters. Your presence at events, your likes, shares, and reposts, your voice speaking up on my behalf, even when no one’s watching, all of it fuels this work in ways words can hardly express.

I’m deeply grateful for the love, support, and trust you pour into this journey. Together, we’re planting seeds of healing, wisdom, and connection. Thank you for helping it grow. 💚

— With gratitude, Rural Black Doula

🌿 FAQ: Blood Pressure During & After Pregnancy 🌿
Pregnancy brings so many changes, including shifts in blood pressure. Here's what you need to know to stay empowered and informed:

🔍 What is considered normal?
A typical healthy blood pressure is around 120/80 mmHg. During pregnancy, it may drop slightly in the first and second trimester, then return to normal or slightly higher levels in the third trimester.

⚠️ What’s too high?
A reading of 140/90 mmHg or higher may indicate high blood pressure (hypertension), which requires monitoring and care, as it can affect both parent and baby.

🤰 Common causes of elevated BP in pregnancy:
* Stress or lack of rest
* Pre-existing hypertension
* Preeclampsia (a pregnancy condition that needs medical care)
* Lifestyle factors (diet, hydration, movement)

🔍 Symptoms of High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) in Pregnancy & Postpartum:
*Severe headaches
*Blurred vision or seeing spots
*Swelling in hands, face, or feet
*Sudden weight gain
*Upper right belly pain
*Nausea or vomiting
*Shortness of breath
*Feeling unusually tired or confused
*Decreased urine output

💬 What is preeclampsia?
A condition marked by high blood pressure and signs of damage to another organ system, often the liver or kidneys. It usually occurs after 20 weeks and may require medical intervention.

🩺 Why monitor BP after birth?
Blood pressure issues can continue or even begin *after* delivery (postpartum hypertension). This is especially common for folks who experienced high BP during pregnancy.

✨ Remember: High blood pressure doesn’t always show symptoms. Regular monitoring and open conversations with your care team make all the difference!
