To the Mothers Who Rise by Shekita Long

In the warmth of your embrace, 


A world blooms with grace, 


From your roots, deep and strong, 


A legacy where we belong. 




You carry the stories of ages past, 


In every heartbeat, a love that lasts, 


With wisdom woven in each tear, 


You nurture dreams, you calm the fear. 




Your hands have cradled lives anew, 


Guided them softly, with love so true, 


You stand as a beacon, fierce and bright, 


A warrior of love, igniting the light. 




With every challenge, you weather the storm, 


Creating safe spaces, where hearts can transform, 


Through laughter and trials, you rise every day, 


A doula of life in the sweetest way. 




So here’s to you, Mother, wise and divine, 


In the fabric of life, your threads intertwine, 


On this special day, we celebrate you, 


For the love that you give, and all that you do. 




May joy fill your heart, may peace fill your soul, 


You are the magic that makes us whole. 


For the mothers who rise, who stand strong and proud, 


We honor your journey, we sing it aloud.

As a cultural and community labor and birth doula who advocates for mental health awareness, I want to address a vital topic that affects many new parents: postpartum mental health. If you're navigating this journey and feeling overwhelmed, please know that you're not alone.

Research shows that women of color often do not get the same quality of care as White women. Race-related health inequities continue to place the lives of Black women and their families at risk, but finding supportive doctors can change that.
