Happy pride month!

[NHS England @NHSEngland]

We're wishing all #OurNHSPeople a very happy #PrideMonth! We know Pride celebrations will be a little different this year, but we’ll still be celebrating our wonderful LGBT+ family from a safe distance. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈 ✊ #LoveIsLove

This was such a great conversation. A community of cultures coming together to hear each other talk about maternity experiences and ask questions, with a particular focus on South Asian women this week.

I love how Simone Riley used her platform to tell her story of postnatal depression despite worrying about being judged - amazing things can happen when we reach out.

[Simoneriley_missdiva @SRileyMedia]

2 years ago on a International Women’s day I took a deep breath & told a story I had kept hidden for several years. I didn’t know how it would be received & thought I was going to be judged, something in the pit of my stomach said u have to do this u can help save someone’s life.
