Advocacy: 2020 Mom Annual FORUM

I know I'm the type that feeds off energy, which can be terrible. I make a point to surround myself with positive, grateful, affirming people, and in turn, I feel positive, grateful and give affirmations. 
Negativity brings me down - doesn't it do that to everyone though? 
As much as we'd all like to be in person, feeding energy from people's movements, their radiant light exuding out and feel their pain and strength....COVID SUCKS and things are still just as virtual as before. Last year at the MoMMa's Summit, I still felt the energy, the passion and the remembering of my why. Why do I do this? Why do I think its' important to advocate, to speak up and to listen in on people's ideas, the policies that they changed? 
I don't know. Perhaps, to rid myself of the guilt that I didn't do ENOUGH. 
Perhaps, my anger and adrenaline of our health care system and how it fails mothers fuels me. 
What fills my cup more than anything though is the future I want my daughter (and daughter in law) to have. My nieces to not have to worry about their postpartum journeys. To be a change even if it affects no one else but the people I love. 

So if you're able, won't you join me?

    I am a 2-time Preeclampsia survivor, having been diagnosed in 2012 and 2016.
    I was diagnosed with Postpartum Depression following the birth of my son.
    I've written my story into poems & told it to countless mamas.
    I'm a maternal mental health advocate and peer support provider.
