All births are natural.

Cesarean births make up 1/3 of all births in the US, with some states & populations experiencing c-sections rates as high as 40%. The World Health Organization says 10-12% of births necessitate cesarean deliveries.

Cesarean surgery is the MOST common surgical procedure performed in the US (hysterectomies rank 2nd for most common surgery for people with a uterus).

There is no such thing in birth as ‘taking the easy way out’. All births are valid. All births are natural (not to be confused with unmedicated). All births require significant physical & emotional recovery.

This month we recognize the pregnant people who had surgical births because they needed one for medical or life saving reasons. We honor the pregnant people who were forced into one due to fear, coercion, medical racism, outdated medical beliefs, convenience of their provider, &/or excessive interventions. We also honor the pregnant people who chose to birth this way to feel more empowered, to reduce re-traumatization &/ or because they wanted to.

We all deserve the option to make informed birthing choices & to be respected every step of the way. We all deserve robust support when recovering from surgery ESPECIALLY when we’re expected to care for others while recovering, like a newborn!

To all of those who birthed via cesearen (including some of us here at ), we are powerful!✨❤️‍🩹

Today, we honor grandmother, Eva Ozier: a true definition of strength, resilience, and purpose.

A survivor of domestic violence, a mother of six, and a woman who refused to give up on herself, she made the courageous decision to go back to school after years away and built a career in education, pouring into others while still raising her family.

Her journey wasn’t easy, but she kept going. She turned pain into purpose and became a pillar in her community, leaving behind a legacy so powerful that scholarships were created in her name to help future generations succeed.

Because of her, doors are opening for others. Because of her, I know what strength looks like.

You are more than a survivor—you are a legacy. 💐

To close out we want to honor a few of our community’s female elders & ancestors.

From 💐
“Gloria Mae Bailey is my paternal grandmother, and I miss her daily. She was a mother, sister, friend, wife, and non-judgmental listening ear to many people. A queen in the family who loved heels, curling her hair, wearing nice jewelry, and always had a soft scented fragrance on her. We could guarantee nothing but love while in her presence. She was a devout Louisiana Catholic woman that practiced love for all people no matter the circumstances, cooked food with love and lots of flavor, threw the best backyard summer parties, and had a way of being honest while still considering the feelings of others. I was blessed to have not just my grandmother, but this beautiful Black woman that showed me the best parts of family, culture, and humanity.”
