I keep seeing people on social media talk about how they can’t understand why anyone would live in the south. A lot of (really thoughtless, privileged) folks telling us we should pack up and leave. I have a weird relationship with the south. I grew up in Tennessee, but I never considered myself southern. I spent all of high school dying to leave and vowing never to return. But 6.5 years ago my husband and I left Boston and found ourselves in Macon, Georgia. I’ll be honest, I thought this might be a temporary pit stop. But we bought a house. And then we brought our first child home from the hospital. Then our second. For better or for worse, this is home. Things do feel bad right now, but like @bittersoutherner says, I believe in a better south. I see it all around me, every day. People fighting and never taking curtain calls. And I’m here to help. I’m a woman, and I’m a voter. And I’m not leaving.
Some amazing women, including @mamahawkdraws and @abbyanoble, have been working hard to get #MaconPeriodsEasier off the ground. This community based organization tackles period poverty in our community by delivering period products to elementary, middle, and high schools in Macon, GA. What was just an idea a few months ago is now a hustling group of women who have delivered a thousands and thousands of pads, tampons, and liners to women and girls in need. Tonight was the official launch party, and the turnout was incredible! I’m so proud of you, ladies! There’s a lot of shit in this world, especially in the south, but there are also so many people working quietly and tirelessly to make the world just a little bit better. Don’t sneer at the south. Help us.
Another year with no broken bones! Look, set the bar RULL LOW and your motherhood journey will be a dream. Happy Mother’s Day everyone!
Happy Mother’s Day to my awesome mom who passed on good grammar, a memory like a steel trap, the ability to smile and be polite even when you want to throw a punch, and that gap smile. Love you!
