So many emotions to battle with above and beyond the normal noise we struggle to navigate through on a day-to-day basis. Tomorrow, we’ll be led by the fantastic @littlemamajama (Kristin Novotny) who will just BE with us as we let it all out. A HUGE thank you to Kristin  for agreeing to host this chat on such short notice. Gentle suggestions on how to cope with negative feelings/difficult situations Things this chat will NOT be for: Join us tomorrow as we open up some space on Twitter to process and move forward.

Anywhere, let alone in an arena where it’s already difficult for women of color to speak up and reach out because culture tells them not to do so. This is why we are raising a cacophony of voices which will not be silenced until all is made right and the pattern ceases to exist. In the meantime, for those who once sought support from Postpartum Progress for women of color and are in need of different avenues for resources, I strongly urge you to start with The Tessera Collective. No, they’re gonna keep knocking at the doors of so many and we need to be there to help them speak up, reach out, and inspire hope in their hearts that they WILL get through this.

It’s time. Self-care is of the utmost importance to me and quite frankly, right now, I need all the self-care I can garner. It is with a very heavy heart that I write this post as this, this outreach, has been my lifeblood for quite some time now. But like a whisper on the wind, it has faded, and the time has come.
