A beautiful Father’s Day memoriam from .cargle ..
Birthing From Within honors all the fathers and father figures out there - thank you for everything you do.
・・・
I was my dads favorite person and no one can convince me otherwise. During the time that I had him with me I never felt anything less than the center of the universe which, to this day, my mom loves to remind me that I am not 😂. For the first 7 years of my life I thought my name was Beautiful , that was all he ever called me. I remember laughing harder than ever, feeling safer than ever, being more comfortable than ever when I was with my dad.
•
My father passed away when I was 11 due to kidney failure. The hospital where he had been staying called our home in the middle of the night, I answered. They didn’t ask for my mother, they simply said, into my 11 year old ear, “We called to tell you that Larry Brooks has passed” and I said thank you and hung up. I walked up the stairs, heart pounding, but no tears showing up just yet, to tell my mom. The next 24 hours were a blur. At his funeral a few days later was the first time I cried about him passing. I cried loud and hard and my grandma hugged and rocked me in the back of the room. But my tears, even at that age, weren’t purely grief but gratefulness that I had known such a depth of love.
•
I think — I know, rather — that even though I missed his presence over all these years I never ever felt without his love. I was filled to the brim with his affirmations of who I was and how I mattered and that stuck to my bones as they grew.
•
I wish so much that he could see me now. That I could lay near him and nap, that I could call him when the exciting things happen, that we could go to drive-in burger spots again in the middle of the night, that he could tell me how much I look like him, that he could introduce me to everyone he meets as “his beautiful daughter Rachel”, that he could read my words and hear me speak and he could see that what he poured into me is now in full bloom...

Happy Black Babywearing Week! Are you ready for a fun week?

2020 Press Release:

rev·o·lu·tion
/ˌrevəˈlo͞oSH(ə)n/
noun
1.
a forcible overthrow of a government or social order, in favor of a new system:

In 2016, our co-founder, Nashira B. trademarked the phrase “The Revolution Will Be Carried.” that we use during Black Babywearing Week. This phrase was as powerful then as it is now in 2020. It was a launching place for the Black babywearing community to spring forward from the shadows and corners that we were pressed into by elitist groups and highly priced carriers.

We as Black babywearers now have a charge and a unifying reason to wear our children, the revolution of a social order. This year, our history of babywearing as a form of revolution is being highlighted to the most powerful degree.

A revolution is happening all over the globe because Black people live all over this world.

We are babywearers, because of tradition, necessity, commodity, kinship and because, we look good while doing it. We “back babies” because we can, and because the historically dominant culture failed to stop us completely. I wear my babies on my back with the weight of the world on my shoulders. We wear our children on our chests close to our heavy hearts so it is easier to carry on. We keep our children close so when they call out a resounding “Mama!” they have immediate comfort and protection from harm.
Our revolution for Black Babywearing Week is interchangeable with the larger revolution happening now. We are resisting the history that has seen our offspring kidnapped and taken from us. We have been resilient throughout a history that has seen our children neglected in favor of other’s care. We are reclaiming our families and are keeping our own bonded to us, tied to us. To be a black babywearer is to be a revolutionary hero. Not only are we returning to our roots we are also raising our children with ancestral knowledge from their beginning. We are doing all of this together.
