Today was truly a beautiful and meaningful day 💛
Honored to support Walker Chiropractor in her incredible initiative, Mommies & Mocktails, now in its 6th year, held on the very first day recognizing Black Maternal Mental Health. What started as grassroots work has grown into a powerful movement, uplifting and amplifying the voices and concerns of Black mothers alongside the advocacy of Senator Osgood.
It was so good to see Ester from Metro Mommy, continuing to elevate the presence and importance of doulas, and to hear Renee Rivers centering maternal mental health in such a powerful and necessary way. Grateful as well for the enriching conversation with Dr. Bennett, Chief of Fetal Medicine at Memorial Hospital, whose insights continue to move this dialogue forward. I was especially honored to be in a room filled with so many birthing and advanced-age mommies, what a powerful, beautiful reminder that every journey into motherhood deserves to be seen, supported, and celebrated. Today was about Black joy, our resilience, our strength, and the undeniable power of our collective presence. So much to celebrate, and so much to continue building together ✨
