Cornerstone Doula Trainings

"If it can happen to them, we’re next." Let’s talk about what that really means... That phrase has been everywhere lately. And I get it—fear is real. But what happens when fear and personal impact become the only reason we pay attention?

When we say “we’re next,” what we’re really saying is:
Now that it might affect me, it finally feels urgent. But what if we asked instead: Why didn’t it feel urgent before? Why does harm have to reach our own doorstep before we call it unacceptable?

Justice asks us to care even when we’re not personally at risk. Solidarity asks us to act because it’s wrong, not just because it’s close.

So yes—it could happen to you. But more importantly,
it is and has already been happening. And that should be enough.

I don’t have all the answers—never have. But I do know that together, we have the power to shift history. Things are disorienting and unraveling fast, and we’re just fighting to hold onto our breath, our identities, loved ones, and sanity. But fear won’t save us. Collective action will.

What I do know:

‼️Fighting over being “perfect” activists or wasting your energy blaming folks for where we are is a trap. We don’t have time for that. Our reality is our reality—we either come together, or we fall apart.
‼️ No human being is illegal. Learn your rights when interacting with ICE, and don’t stand by when our communities need protection.
‼️ Trans people are sacred. We must protect our trans, q***r, and GNC family with everything we’ve got.
‼️ Public health is under threat and we're facing an information blackout while hella viruses are circulating our communities. Covid is still real. Mask up and protect our disabled and immunocompromised family.
‼️ Palestine, DRC, Sudan, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii still need us—don’t stop organizing and demanding liberation.
‼️ Ab is healthcare. We must keep each other resourced and safe.

What I'm doing:

💗 I’m making calls every day through the 5 Calls app (link in bio). I’m showing up at community teach-ins, leaning on loved ones, creating new training content, and training justice-centered birthworkers to help build the world we deserve.

💗 And I'm asking you: What are you doing? How are you staying grounded, if at all? What resources are you finding helpful? How are you showing up? Drop it in the comments and share it on your platforms.

We either come together, or we fall apart. Let’s organize. Let’s protect each other. Let’s build. We have work to do.

✨Friendly reminder: Birthwork isn’t “women’s work.” It’s human work.

✨Anyone can be a doula, and everyone has a part to play in building a compassionate, inclusive, loving, and supportive world for all families and communities.

✨You don’t need to be a certain age, ability, gender, or even a parent to be a birthworker. Birth touches all of us—we’ve all been born. If you’re drawn to this work, you belong here.

✨This isn’t just “women helping women.” All parents, gestating and non gestating can experience postpartum depression. People of all genders give birth and deserve care that affirms and uplifts them.

✨Parenting, in all its forms, is a profound transition. Every parent deserves love, care, and a community that surrounds them with support during one of life’s most transformative times.
