I've discovered it is always harder to say goodbye when you didn't even get to say hello. Please come exactly as you are to any of the events I'm hosting with friends. You will leave more encourage than when you arrived. Acknowledging child loss is a vital first step in healing, yet there is still so much work to be done. I designed the collective for reviving birth and reproductive research studies: the Revival Birth Collective (RBC), in short to continue this essential work. We are a new collective united in urgency to dismantle systems that no longer serve the most vulnerable. We connect communities through research, conversations as well as new collaborations that support policies providing whole body wellness from inception through postpartum health. RBC collects collaborative clinicians, birth workers and pregnancy survivors working together to shift societal norms and stigmas.
