I was recently assigned to document some of the work ElmaPhilanthropies is doing with its partners in Uganda for the 2018 progress report. The foundation invests in already existing high-impact organizations that can further its objectives and I visited a number of them, meeting the incredible humans making this work possible. What stood out for me on a personal level was the work being done in hospitals, building the workforce in Maternity sections. This investment aims at ensuring that newborns receive appropriate care and making pregnancy and delivery safe for more women. As a First-time expecting dad, It was pretty obvious how much joy and anxiety these babies brought to their mothers. Nonetheless, mothers of premature babies seemed to have a bigger share of worrying to do. There seemed to exist a steady flow of women in Labour and Postnatal patients because the wards were so full of women. I could imagine the pressure on the few available midwives. For a moment, the Maternity ward seemed like a factory and Motherhood seemed like the biggest gamble. There was a certain kind of calmness in the nursery though. With its intense warmth, the level of anxiety seemed to be at a different level. Many mothers were nervous about whether their baby would be safe or if they could cope. For a few hours, I felt more humanized and everything was reduced to essentials of survival. I related with everyone. Today, we celebrate you all Mothers. There is eternal power in motherhood. . . . . . . #mothersday #mothers #mothers_day #mothership #mothersofinstagram #uganda #kampala #jinja #africa #labour #prematurebaby #philanthropy #elmaphilanthropies #portrait_perfection #jjumba #jjumba_martin #jjumba_martin_photos #jjumbamartinphotography (at Kampala, Uganda) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxYQyI3F07N/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15119vwapfy2l

I became a mother at the young age of 20. I am now 37, my oldest is turning 17 next month. His sun, Saturn, and Mercury all sit in my 4H Leo. His existence gave me the structure and strength to be a mother… the bold, confident and courageous mother that I am. A true Lioness. We pick on each other bcuz he is a little sarcastic butthole with that Saturn conjunct his sun… but I wouldn’t have it any other way. 😂 Jasiah is the lighthearted energy I needed. We’re both Gemini’s. Nuff said 😂 #astrologymoms #astrology #mothersofinstagram #sun #son #blackboyjoy #spirituality #spiritualmoms (at Round Rock, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce88tQ1MrkJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Holding you extra close today….. • • We are tired. We are tired of losing our babies. We are tired of being scared. We are tired of you constantly fighting and not just coming together to help protect our children in places you told us we could trust they would be safe. We are just tired. And terrified and trying to do our best to prepare and protect them. My heart and prayers go out to all the parents and families who lost their loved ones, their little ones. We stand with you, we mourn with you, we are with you. As a citizen, as a parent, as a mama please please just do something @gop @thedemocrats @whitehouse stop fighting and just do what’s right for us all. Please, we are all begging. #standwithparents #mothersofinstagram #parentsofinstagram #dowhatsright https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd_lQwGugYr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
