I want to crush on the phenomenal women of Birth Future Foundation and for continuing to pour into Black Midwives, Doulas and birthworkers through the Watering the Seeds and Bloom Grants. Last year, as a student-midwife, I was granted through the Watering the Seeds Fund, and this year, I was gifted a surprise Bloom Grant.

Many, many thanks for seeing me, and funding my rest and restorative well being. This is the work ✊🏿
I'm humbled and in gratitude. 💜

I'm Friday born, and on this, my 45th year my bday fell on a Friday. I'm in gratitude for life and for living. I enjoyed the awesome Erykah Badu celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Mama's Gun. I remember being in college when that dropped and this lyric has always stood out for me:

"When my freedom comes along, I'm gonna run child/Cause I know that I'll go far..."

Many thanks for all the bornday blessings!

Gentle Reminder: DEEP TIME Starts Thursday, Oct. 9, 2025
Deep Time is my 2nd Level course. This is a 7 intensive week course, which meets 2 hours each week. Our special guides include Mama Mawusi Ashshakir and Mama Charlotte Goudeau, both Midwives. During this 7 week course, we delve into what makes one a healer, we peel off the layers to "imposter syndrome" and address our "knowing" and "wisdom." Think of it as a masterclass.
This class is ONLY for those who have taken and completed the 1st Grandma's Hands course or workshop.

🌱Week 1: Intuition in Midwifery: Ancestral Technology (Special Guide: Midwife Charlotte Goudeau)
🌱Week 2: Yarrow: Deep Study
Week 3: The Experience-Based Healer (Special Guide: Midwife Mawusi Ashshakir)
🌱Week 4: George Washington Carver; The Legacy and the Example
🌱Week 5: Cotton Medicine--More than the Root
🌱Week 6: Afterbirth--Handling the Placenta in the Black Southern Tradition
🌱Week 7: The Cycle of Life--Importance of Honoring the Postpartum

In what ways can the life of George Washington Carver give us the secrets to communicating with plants? And further, to being more confident in our healing ways?

In the book, "The Secret Life of Plants," Carver is called the "Wizard of Tuskegee." He had a daily discipline--ritual, if you will - around speaking to plants.

We delve into this question and more during my DEEP TIME course. Click the link in my bio to register: https://www.jotform.com/form/252406489241155?mc_cid=a2d1030320&mc_eid=c93ee2e4fb

Open to previous Grandma's Hands® students only.
