May is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month. Nearly 40% of Black mothers experience maternal mental health symptoms—almost double the national average. We must break the stigma and demand culturally competent care for Black birthing people!

In today’s episode of my crazy life, I was talking at a @breakthrought1duk.bsky.social event in Belfast. A man was taking photos of one of my slides. His wife was in a photo from 1986 of me and my Gold Duke of Edinburgh group. She was diagnosed with #T1D 5 years ago 🥹 that was a reunion and a half 💙

I never actually imagined I’d be involved in wedding planning yet here I am, sister of the bride, sorting fittings and alterations of outfits for the bridesmen, arranging a cake & wedding favours, and booking hairdresser trials, make up trials and transport for the Bride. The countdown is on 🤪
