my 6:30am view before going to bed. blessed is this littlest babe. and the parents. and the siblings. every family i serve is beautiful, strong and awe-inspiring. every family deserves a doula. the ones having their first baby AND the ones having their 6th baby. it’s ALL simply huge life changes. a doula supports the family through the challenges and joys of birthING new life. holds space. validates. and loves on. loves and loves. yep— no matter what, you are loved by a doula. xo, rachel ##spilledinkbyrmab #iamdoula #deafdoula #dtidoula #aslbirth https://www.instagram.com/p/BwxaATOHGzp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iftj398wnzoa

This is everything. Deaf Doula Ally of @HandWavesBirth wearing shirt by @AncientSong 🖤🖤🖤 ・・・ “My shirt reads a few of many reasons why I am voting today. I am voting for me, you, our children, our community, our country, our world and the future. Freedom is not free. It is not even 100 years since women are allowed to vote. Use your voice, your voting right. So, so much is at stake. Vote with intersectionality in mind. Representation matters. Vote for an inclusive and compassionate world. Vote as if our lives depend on it....because they do. Take your children with you to the voting polls if possible ~ instill voting values from the very beginning. Make a change. Make a difference. VOTE.” [Image description: a selfie of Doula Ally s lower half face and chest, with a focus on the T-shirt that reads: Birth Equity& Repro.
