#tips4newmidwives you are there for the woman so always ask if you don’t know, find the the midwives you want to be and learn from them and join your professional body as we are all in this together via ^JackieKit1

Dr. King was 26 when the Montgomery bus boycott began. He started small, rallying others who believed their efforts mattered, pressing on through challenges and doubts to change our world for the better. A permanent inspiration for the rest of us to keep pushing towards justice.

"Treat everyone with the same level of respect, whether they are the janitor at your school or the principal." Grandma Rose.

This is one of the most powerful lessons I ever learned.

My Grandma immigrated from Greece 🇬🇷 when she was 18, and she was a wise woman. 🌹#Wisdom
