See how she found it
“No one was hearing me. You helped me reclaim my voice.”
Her baby arrived safely, and so did her sense of power. Jasmine walked into her appointments knowing what to ask and who was on her side.
Today she shares what she learned with other parents who feel dismissed. She tells them what she wishes she’d heard sooner: your questions are not too much, and you deserve to be heard.
Why they reached out
Jasmine’s concerns during her pregnancy were repeatedly dismissed by healthcare providers. She feared for her life, and her baby’s.
The more she pushed for answers, the less she felt heard. She needed someone who would believe her and stay in the room.
How we helped
Lightkeepers supported Jasmine through advocacy, helped her find a culturally competent doula, and stood by her in appointments.
We helped her write down her questions, practice asking them, and know her rights. Having someone beside her changed how the room listened.
