Before the day ends.... HAPPY BLACK MIDWIVES DAY!!!!
Take a trip back...down in the South... and take a peek at the Black Midwives that are traveling door to door to check on moms, building their community, ensuring that that are nourished spiritually, mentally, physically, and emotionally. Midwives Clothed In Purpose (😉) and determined to provide exceptional care.
Then people decided that whiteness was "clean" and black was dirty. They tried to take something that was deep down in spirit. They tried to eradicate what God placed in the soul of black midwives. They couldn't shut down what God ordained. It started to look differently. Forced underground. Forced to be hidden. Forced into silence. You can never silence what God put in place. You never diminish what God placed in the belly of His people!
Fast forward to today and I AM HONORED to be in the number! I AM BLESSED to be a Black midwife! I AM THANKFUL that I walk behind trailblazers. To my Great Great Grandmother, Virginia Tipton, THANK YOU! I wish that I could be walking beside you, heading to a birth, preparing postpartum meals, and singing these babies out. Thank you for passing the torch. I picked it up and we're walking on!
HAPPY BLACK MIDWIVES' DAY! We're here, we're thriving, and We AIN'T GOING NOWHERE!
