Quotes:“ ... I found people to support me along the way because I was having kids I gravitated to a group of women that really became my backbone in the younger days when my first marriage was failing I couldn’t have done what I have done; to go to school, to be a labor and delivery nurse, to become a midwife without my friends from that time period; they really had my back and helped me with the kids. There is so much riddance It takes a neighborhood to keep them alive, to keep them happy to keep mom sane..”It was hard when my kids were younger like I said I have two failed marriages and I have been the primary caregiver for all my three children and it was often a struggle financially sometimes just emotionally trying to keep myself happy and keep the kids happy. I leaned heavily on my friends I believed in myself I believe that I could succeed in what I was doing I just knew that it was going to take a lot of work and a lot of time and I can’t believe how fortunate I am today to be a midwife, twelve years now I am a midwife and it’s everything I have ever wanted in my life I absolutely love my job”Being a woman who becomes a mother is almost the culmination of life; she creates life and brings it into this world and nurtured that life however it may proceed it’s just the epidamy of just greatness and wonder and amazement that so many women do this and succeed look at all the people around us”“Racism is so hideous in our culture and the way we care for people it’s awe full... My daughter is biracial and I think about this for her going forward in life I just hope that I will able to educate her so that going forward she doesn’t feel that marginalization and outright discrimination” Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Simple Parenting in Queens — https://simpleparentinginqueens.com/Birthing Center - https://www.havenmidwiferybirthingcenter.com/Midwifery practice — https://midwiferycarenyc.com/about-us/ Birth Photography featured on this post - https://www.katherinemarivellephotography.com/
