Bump Equity Project This is my story as a student midwife rooted in reflection, real-time lessons, and the ongoing work of maternal health equity.

I may have paid for it all week, but student midwives gotta have fun too!

Camper couture, if you will.

Also, don’t judge me if you see me rotating through a handful of business outfits. Bump does not have a walk-in closet.

Turns out arriving and settling in are two very different things. I’ve spent the last week or so finding a new rhythm after driving across country and getting settled in LA, wrapping up my midwifery school quarter, navigating a pile of grant deadlines at work, and starting clinic.

It’s been a lot of figuring out what my days look like, when I rest (?!?), and how all the pieces fit together. Slowly, but surely, I’m finding my flow!

Somewhere in the middle of all of that, I finished one of my fullest quarters of school yet AND officially completed the first phase of my clinical training. On to Phase Two!

Milestones y’all - MILESTONES!!

With the schoolwork submitted, the grants (almost) behind me, and clinic underway, it felt like a good time to indulge in some salty, beachy air.

We discuss maternal health, including recent vaccine rollbacks and the importance of national breastfeeding month with Tina Sherman of MomsRising.

I’m always up for a road trip, but towing the camper all the way across the country - this was a whole new level! I got to enjoy the scenery and spend some time with some of my favorite people along the way. And of course, pulling up into gas stations (or really anywhere) with a pink Jeep AND a pink camper was always a conversation starter.

3,185 miles. It was long. I’m tired. But it was also pretty damn amazing!!

I’m spending the weekend getting settled, squeezing in some schoolwork, and getting some much needed rest. Monday I’m back in my MomsRising office, and later in the week, clinicals begin.

Deeply grateful for the opportunity to learn and practice NRP in a space centering community midwifery.

A little milestone in my clinical lactation journey -
and of all the families I could have gotten to support - twins!

It feels like quite a gift to be able to take what I’m learning and use it to hold space for another twin family. They might be teenagers, but those early feeding days weren’t that long ago. Getting to pay that forward on the clinical side is a pretty sweet full-circle moment.

I really don’t think there’s anything I love more than sharing space with people who are generous with their wisdom and who lead with a servant heart.

I’m grateful to have represented MomsRising.org at the Uplifting Black & Brown Lactation Success Conference. I am so appreciative of everyone who shared their work, for time with friends, and the opportunity to build new relationships all in service of supporting families.

I could not have asked for a better way to kick off National Breastfeeding Month.
