Motherhood is an identity, a calling, a battle, a journey- often all at the same time. I am honored to be a part of Arrival Stories, a collection of essays, curated by @cturlington and @amyschumer, about entering motherhood, which is on sale today. By sharing our stories, we forge a path toward more open and honest communication about the experience of becoming a mother. This book also shines a light on the grave injustices that women of color face in maternal healthcare and helps to support Every Mother Counts @everymomcounts, which works to make pregnancy and childbirth safe, respectful, and equitable for every mother, everywhere. You can buy a copy wherever books are sold.
