 Kristen, I cannot be more proud of the woman and leader you are. Your dedication as a formidable advocate for black, maternal, and infant health is admirable and unwavering. We sit over here and read this. As founder of Homeland Heart Birth and Wellness Collective, you have cultivated valuable relationships with allies that support your efforts to provide doula services as well as emergency housing, food, clothing, and diapers for all those who come to your safe space. She felt as though in order to affect a change in black, infant, and maternal mortality, she was going to need to create the space that was missing. Having a daughter and knowing that I was going to be raising a daughter amidst what we are seeing now as the black maternal mortality crisis. I am currently on a mission to make sure that this is not something that my daughter is facing if and when she decides to have children. You then became a certified lactation specialist and doula. Later developed a doula training program training black doulas to support families in need. It is very hard to measure how we are impacting an entire family of people for generations to come when we ensure that their mother survives childbirth and that the child itself is able to survive and thrive through their first year of life. You are more than deserving of this recognition. Congratulations on being a Wesley Mortgage community hero. Congratulations. Here are 14 tickets to the Titans game for Christmas. Oh my God! I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.
