Action is important. Stand with those who need support.
Speak up, donate, listen.
As women supporting women we can make a difference in the world.
My mission has always been to elevate women’s voices, women’s stories, and empower women to create the changes they want to see in their own lives and in the world.
This includes the experience of Black women and Women of Color.
I'm an advocate for birth justice, and I've realized I need to be more vocal about the causes I support and believe in. If you're interested in joining me, here are some ways to donate and take action:
@birthequity
@birthmarkdoulas
@mamatotovillage
@blackmamasmatter
@groundswellfund
Now is the time to step up, to show up, to support one another as women.
And to the Women of Color out there:
I see you.
I hear you.
I stand with you.](https://www.katepotvin.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
