What gives you the ick?

As Black women, & Black therapists, we hear these statements. A LOT. 🤦🏽‍♀️

This one's for the clinicians. 🤎

We can recite the disparities. Twice the stillbirth rate. Twice the infant mortality. Black women dying in childbirth at three times the rate of white women.

But statistics don't sit with her in your office. You do.

And what she brings into that room is grief, plus a system that has failed her, a history of medical mistrust, community silence, and the weight of weathering.

That's grief work AND equity work.

Weatherproof your practice. Follow along for more on what that actually looks like. 🤎

Mother's Day is complicated for so many of us.

If you're holding grief alongside gratitude today, or instead of it, I want you to know you're not invisible to this community or me.

This day wasn't designed with us in mind. But this community was.

Whether you're mothering through loss, still waiting, carrying a choice, or loving someone the world refuses to count, we see you. 🤎

Drop a 🤎 below if this resonates, or share this with someone who needs to feel seen today.

These are our hands. 🤎

I became a mother through (repeated) loss first. TFMR. Grief I didn't know how to hold. A road I never expected to be on.

And then...him.

World Maternal Mental Health Awareness Day exists because the journey to motherhood, and through it, is rarely what we imagined. For so many, it carries loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, and a grief that doesn't have a name yet.

As a therapist, I hold space for that every day.

As a parent, I know it from the inside.

If you are struggling, in pregnancy, postpartum, or anywhere along the road, you are not the only one. 🤎

This is the before.

This is love.

This is what TFMR actually looks like.

Not a statistic. Not a political talking point. Not a choice made lightly.

A mother. Her baby. A decision made from love, because love was all there was left to give.

Today is TFMR Awareness Day. And I'm sharing this photo, one I have never shared publicly before, because this community deserves to be seen. Not whispered about. Not hidden. Seen.

I'm almost 12 years post loss. The grief is still there, but it's different now. It no longer consumes my life and shows up even after you get through the tough parts.

It's like glitter. There are still specks here and there that won't go away.

And I've made peace with that.

If you've walked this path, I want you to know: the weight does shift. It doesn't disappear. But it shifts.

Your love was real.

Your baby was real.

Your loss is real.

And you never have to justify the most impossible decision you've ever made.

I see you. 🤎

Bereaved Mother's Day exists because motherhood doesn't require a living child to be real. It requires love. And yours has never stopped.

Whether you lost your baby to miscarriage, stillbirth, infant loss, TFMR, or infertility, you deserve to be honored. Full stop.

To every loss mama reading this: I see you. I honor you. And I am so glad you're here.

I see you. 🤎

As this year comes to a close, I’m holding so much gratitude...for family, health, and the community that shows up in big and small ways.

Many of you followed my mother’s journey, and I’m happy to share that she has fully recovered. Look at that smile! 🙂

From my family to yours, wishing you peace, joy, and gentle moments this holiday season.

Happy Holidays ✨

In this week’s episode, Barbie Chapman and I dive deep into the lived reality of “weathering,” the way chronic stress and systemic inequities leave lasting marks on the body, especially for Black women.

We talk about what it means to carry stress that isn’t just personal, but generational… and how healing isn’t only about what *we* do, but also about who stands with us.

Barbie shares her powerful journey of stepping away from corporate life to reclaim her health, offering an honest look at vulnerability, boundaries, and the courage it takes to choose yourself.

✨ This conversation is part education, part testimony, and fully an invitation:

To slow down.

To listen to your body.

To understand the systems around us.

And to remember that community care matters just as much as self-care.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of “pushing through,” I hope this episode gives you language, validation, and a little more room to breathe. 💙

Tune in and let me know what resonates with you.
