Who do I think I am trying to make big changes around here?
This question has been bugging me lately. What qualifies us to speak out, to have people listen to us? Sure, if we got a nationally known doctor, midwife or other equally as qualified speaker/author on board, folks would turn heads. But how can I, just a mom, make heads turn and get noticed enough to make changes? That's going to take a lot of us, numbers will be paramount in our fight to a better birthing environment and truly finding an end to perinatal violence. Are you "just a mom?" Probably not. I don't think there's any way possible for a woman to be "just a mom." We are nurturers, tear blotters, wound healers and soul warmers. We are experts in the fields of learning, sharing, teething, rocking and soothing. We ARE management, top of the line human resources, event coordinators, foreign language interpreters and counselors. With a skil-set like that, you better sit down and listen up because "If momma aint happy, aint nobody happy!"
