Torrie... thank you for such a vulnerable post. Postpartum depression is such a real thing. I’m pretty sure I had it after my first child was born, but no one called it that or knew how to treat it. Looking back, I’m so proud of myself for surviving it. Thank god so many women are talking about it now so that they might recognize the symptoms and be treated for it. Your voice for women, and especially mixed-race women is so real and refreshing. Love your work. You are a light!

Thank you so much Marica. As a fellow writer & author, you know how encouraging notes like yours is. So again thank you. I totally agree. Mental health, postpartum depression, miscarriage - until recently none of these topics were really discussed, even among woman. It's so good to see them being talked about so women can get the help they need.
