PART 5 — ONE YEAR LATER

One year with one kidney — and I am grateful, grounded, and changed.

This year reshaped how I move, how I choose, and how I show up for myself and others. I’m stepping into year two with clarity and purpose.

What’s given becomes second nature.

If this series resonated with you, share it. If you’re on a healing or donor journey, I’d love to hear from you.

Stay tuned for the final part — something I’ve held close for a year.

PART 4 — FROM DONOR TO ADVOCATE

This journey didn’t end with surgery… it expanded into purpose.

Sharing my story led me to advocacy, education, and becoming an Ambassador for the Multicultural Miracle Donor Foundation. We share evidence-based information and lived experience to diversify organ donation and support donors who are often unseen.

Representation helped save me.
Awareness will help save someone else.

Stay tuned for Part 5 — my one-year reflection.

PART 3 — DONOR COMMUNITY & MMDF

I didn’t just donate a kidney… I found a community.

A donor community full of people who understood the emotional, spiritual, and physical layers of this journey. People who had gone before me, walked beside me, and reminded me I wasn’t alone.

That’s how I met my One Kidney Sister, Trish, and the Multicultural Miracle Donor Foundation — a nonprofit supporting multicultural living donors and families of deceased donors through education, advocacy, and community.

If you’re looking for donor support or community, follow . There’s a village waiting for you.

Stay tuned for Part 4 — how advocacy became part of my purpose.

“How do you make sure your kidney goes to a person of color?”

Short answer: you don’t “pick” in the way people think — but many registries allow recipients to share their stories so donors can learn, connect, and feel aligned.

The bigger issue:
Because of health disparities, fear, medical mistrust, and vulnerability, many Black kidney patients may not be listed or feel safe sharing their story.
And there are also far fewer Black living donors overall.

So we need BOTH sides.
More access. More information. More support.
That’s why I share my journey.

This isn’t about pressure — it’s about awareness and options.

PART 2 — KIDNEY DONATION & THE BLACK COMMUNITY

Representation matters — especially in healthcare.

One of the most powerful parts of my donation journey was being surrounded by Black and Brown professionals leading my care. My surgeon. My coordinator. My clinical team.

Seeing myself reflected in the room made it easier to ask questions, trust the process, and feel genuinely safe.

Kidney disease impacts the Black community at higher rates — and awareness, access, and representation can change outcomes.

If you want to learn more about organ donation in our community or share your experience, this space is open.

Stay tuned for Part 3 — the donor community that held me.

I thought donating my kidney would change my body.
It changed how I rest, ask for help, and protect my peace.

Healing taught me more than surgery ever could.

Follow for Part 2.

This didn’t start in a hospital.
It started with family, loss, fear, and love.

Kidney donation wasn’t random for me — it was personal.
If you’ve ever wondered why someone chooses to donate, this is it.

Follow for Part 1.

A year ago, I did something that changed two lives: mine and someone else’s.

This story didn’t start in surgery… and it didn’t end there either.

Over the next few days, I’m telling the whole kidney donation story.
Stay with me.

Your pump is a tool, not a baby.
Babies regulate supply through hormones, saliva, and feedback.
Pumps remove milk based on suction strength.

Full stop.

Breastfeeding isn’t magic.
It’s physiology, immunity, regulation, and long-term health—working quietly in the background.

This isn’t about pressure.
It’s about understanding the advantage.

Save this. Share it.
And if you need a break down of benefits let’s talk!

If you’re expecting, please hear me with love:
Don’t hold your bladder.
Don’t skip your water.

I was induced because my amniotic fluid was low and later learned dehydration played a major role.
Sometimes it’s the simple things that support your body.

Sip throughout the day.
Take the bathroom break.
Protect your peace and your pregnancy.
