A wonderful doula collective with a focus on reproductive justice that reaches beyond pregnancy and postpartum, Ancient Song provides everything from bereavement services to supplies for families in marginalized communities. My friend Shishi Rose (who's also a doula) turned me onto this organization, and it's been an ongoing source of inspiration and education.

My friend Anja Tyson recently introduced me to this organization, which is dedicated to supporting single mothers in need throughout New York City. I'm a resourced, partnered mother with childcare and I find parenting exhausting and vulnerable. I cannot imagine doing this alone, let alone as a single parent living below the poverty line (as 45 percent of single-parent households do). Maternal health is community health — we have to do better to support parents!
