On International Women’s Day, I’m honoring women & femmes around the world who are birthing in war zones, resisting patriarchal systems, and anchoring communities in reproductive justice. Your courage, care, and resistance are acts of sanctuary and survival.
A holiday reminder that hit me yesterday and today more soundly: other people are entitled to their process, their grief, their own timing, their emotions. Everyone is unique and requires a different set of experiences and decisions to move them across that continuum. Have grace.
Last year I made Christmas dinner for my mom and siblings who came out of town, and that meal was made with so much love because I was going through such a dark period. This year, with brand new mercies, I want to make Christmas dinner again. 🥰✨🙏🏾
