A SoulJourner’s Truth (RainMa) https://www.asouljournerstruth.me The word “midwife” in many African languages is synonymous with spiritual healer. The Traditional Midwife’s calling expanded beyond catching babies; she was a healer, a spiritualist, a Public health activist and a community organizer. A woman entered into midwifery through several doors, a calling from God, appointed by the elders, chosen by an older midwife or moved by community need."  The Tao of Midwifery  "Since the beginning of time, there have been women guarding the flame of truth in their hearts, even through times when it’s literally been life-threatening to do so. Today, I offer my respect and gratitude to these wisdom keepers, our ancestors, and to all the women today protecting and feeding the vision of a world where compassion and reverence are at the center of all we are and all we do." ~ Chameli Ardagh Awakening Women Institute https://awakeningwomen.com  Music: Lemurian Home Coming By Anders Holte  Mama Baby Haiti  "When she comes to the midwives she is 12 years old and pregnant......  She tells us,  “They took me from the street. I carry the water. I wash the clothes. I make the food. The woman’s husband tells me, “If you not accept sex with me you go out of the house”  I say, “My mom is dead. I not have a house.” He have sex with me from when I was nine years old.  Sometimes he has other men come and pay him money to have sex with me.  If I do not do what they say they do not feed me.    MamaBaby Haiti midwives are on the frontline of spotting sex trafficking victims and being in the position to rescue them."  Jennifer Sue Justice Gallardo  Thank you for being one of MamaBaby Haiti’s champions and standing up against human trafficking.
