I get crazy upset when I feel mothers or babies are not getting the loving care they need.

Research points to the fact that being born without trauma is the foundation for having an intact capacity to love and trust.

The amazing heroic women in labor, they are the truest inspiration, and when they push their babies into the light... I am astonished every time.

Like my sister, 981 women die every day on Earth from pregnancy and birth-related complications.

I sing, I clean house, I write poetry. I cry. And I tell everyone I can, "I Believe in YOU."

I get happy very easily and very often.

Pregnant women who are at risk for suffering complications and even death are in the prime of their lives. The most affected populations are minorities, Native Americans, immigrants, and women living in poverty and who speak little or no English.
