My passion for maternal and child health led me to continue my studies and pursue the path of midwifery. And here I am now... still catching babies.

In a nutshell, I am a mom, a grandma, and a midwife.

The number of maternal deaths is significantly understated because of a lack of effective data collection both in the US and around the world.

I had amazing midwives when I first became a teen-aged mom, and each of the five times I gave birth.

I am just one of many many thousands of midwives, who are devoted to saving lives gently.

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

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