I believe in the power of human connection and the vulnerability of brave spaces. And I have a knack for bringing people together.
(Fun fact: my hashtag, #DEIVFmama, is now one of the most popular hashtags on Instagram for mothers who created their families with the help of an egg donor!)
Peer Support
In 2015, I reasoned that if a baby born after a pregnancy loss is a rainbow, then a baby born after infertility must be a unicorn! So I co-founded Rainbows & Unicorns, an online support group for people parenting after reproductive trauma. (Enquire for details.)
I sit on the board as an advisory member of Parents via Egg Donation and mentor parents and parents-to-be who chose egg donation to create their family.
Reproductive Rights
The purpose of my newsletter and Instagram, is multifold: to create a secular space to support people on their family-building journeys; bring awareness to the disparities in health care that disproportionately affect women of colour; fight for access to abortion and fertility treatment; and amplify voices of reproductive warriors.
