This isn’t an ending — it’s a transition✨
Over the past four years, serving as co-curator of has truly been an honor. Creating spaces for families and birthworkers, advocating for our community, and pouring into this work with my whole heart — I am so incredibly proud of what has been built.But growth calls you forward. And when it does, you have to be willing to listen.
So today, I’m announcing that I will be stepping away from my role as co-curator of Knoxville Black Maternal Health as I step fully into my next chapter — becoming a licensed midwife here in Tennessee.
This decision comes from a place of growth, alignment, and honoring what I know I’m being called to do next. As a traveling student midwife, I carry the weight and responsibility of sitting in the space between maternal life and mortality — and that calling requires my whole self.
For me, this moment feels like a graduation.
A stepping forward.
An expansion.
And while my role may be shifting, my commitment to this community will never change. I will always show up, always serve, and always advocate for maternal health — just in a way that reflects where I am now.
I believe in moving with integrity.
I believe in choosing alignment over attachment.
And I believe in allowing yourself to evolve — even when it requires change.
To every person who has supported this work, poured into it, and grown with us — thank you. From the bottom of my heart.I move forward with peace, clarity, and a full heart.
Growth will always require change — and I’m choosing to honor that, fully.
Sincerely, Alexis
