I've always had the deepest admiration for those working on the front lines of the fight to eliminate gender based violence.

This felt very personal to write.

I’m still trying to unlearn the “Darling, you can’t do both!” advice that has been drilled into me.

Why has it taken a pandemic to land the accommodations parents, and women especially have always needed?

@goocht "The declaration of August 1st as a national Emancipation Day holiday would be an obvious way to acknowledge ongoing systemic racism within a continuum of injustice."

What does freedom look like beyond 2020?

Commonsense Childbirth School of Midwifery is now accredited by MEAC. It took ALL day to realize that it was real. That my direct-entry midwifery school is the 1st & ONLY Black-owned, nationally-accredited private midwifery training school in the USA! https://t.co/tr44zV3LyC
