Hello beautiful heart. Growing up, I rarely saw fresh flowers. I realized later, that I was one. Today, enjoy every bit of sun on your petals. The Creator is doing powerful work in your garden. Allow yourself smiles. & #Looktowardsthelight.
@missjillscott Thank you for the reminder! I would love for you to meet my papaw trees, for you to meet other empathic and melodic blooms on my farm. I love you.
"Black women have been so disenfranchised and traditionally haven't received the best care in hospitals.
Women need to TRUST their providers, and we need to empower Black women to advocate for themselves." - @JazminALong, @birthnbeautiful#OBWH2020
“We have to look at the ways we’ve allowed stress to STAY on Black women’s bodies through objectification and commodification.”
- Rev. Marcia Dinkins, Black Women Rising #OBWH2020
"There's no way to change the issues that affect Black women's health if we don't address the structural racism that exists in our service delivery system -
doctors and providers who are culturally irresponsible and unresponsive."
Doni Miller, CEO of @NHAToledo#OBWH2020
"Black women need access to spaces where we can HEAL ourselves. That's why having your own land is so important."
