The Safety Net: The Importance of Female Postpartum Support

Just like our Ancestors from earlier times here in America, the cultural value of community in Western Meritah holds strong. The cultural value of community in Western Meritah trumps isolation, death, despair and destruction of the West any day in my book. Though it may have been done through necessity, let’s reach back to the time in our history as Black people in America when we were a tight knit community. Let’s provide the support that our sisters and subsequently ourselves will need during the time of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. We cannot and should not be alone during the most spiritual and powerful yet vulnerable times of our lives.
