Being with a man who isn’t my daughter’s father was tough for me. I was super concerned about boundaries and acceptance but this feels so safe and natural. Sometimes, I follow the child. And this Cancer baby only flows with what feels good. So I’m flowing. I love these two ❤️

[Wild Woman @rainarising]

I really need some time with the girls.

Just scheduled a session with a chiropractor. Black woman. I’m so excited and so are my shoulders and back, baby.

[Wild Woman @rainarising]

I was so tired I fell asleep without brushing my teeth, make up and bra on.

[Wild Woman @rainarising]

Grateful for rest.

The temperature was perfect today.

[Wild Woman @rainarising]

Feeling super grateful as I think about my daughter’s village and life. ❤️

I have been suffering during my cycle for years! A believer in the power of the body, spirit, & nature’s medicine, I’ve done spiritual work around healing and honoring my womb, but I’m not someone who believes that a yoni steam and sea moss is the answer to everything. #seeadoc

But I’ve gone to docs, explained my symptoms, shared that even ovulation is sometimes painful for me. Their response: start taking Motrin 800 2 days before your cycle.

No.

We know what too much ibuprofen can do to the bottle. I also got little relief so, no.

Dated a nigga who said this. Why can’t you just handle your business, sir? Shit was short lived.

All is well.

That’s why I’m so intentional about Black folks providing our care. My community of healers is primarily Black women.

They are affirming and doing life saving work.

[Wild Woman @rainarising]

Yes!

[Wild Woman @rainarising]

We know our bodies. I’m sharing this to encourage Black women to advocate for self like never before. Tell folks to listen up, run the rest, honor my body and humanity. We are worthy of good care.

Let’s get to the roots, spiritually and physically.

My Auntie actually had the same thing and had to have an ovary removed at 15. I’m rejecting that but also holding space for her bcuz docs ignored her, community shamed her and said she as just fast and pregnant. She needed someone to hear her.
