Dear Mama: Your Story Matters

Dear Mama: Your Story Matters

Dear Mama: Your Story Matters, brought to you by Mamas Mosaic & A Light After Nine, is a heartfelt gathering created to honor and uplift the voices of women navigating infertility, pregnancy, loss, and motherhood. This event is designed as a safe and nurturing space where participants can share their journeys, engage in guided journaling, and connect with a community that sees, hears, and supports them.

This year’s event is extra special because we are celebrating the one-year anniversary of A Light After Nine, the co-host of this event. Founded by Rachell M. Dumas, RN after her personal journey through nine pregnancy losses and the birth of her miracle child, A Light After Nine provides compassionate care, peer-led support, healing spaces, and advocacy for individuals navigating infertility, maternal trauma, and loss, especially in underserved communities .

The event will be led by Dr. Alayna Blash, founder of Necessity Journals and Vice President of A Light After Nine, who will guide participants through storytelling circles and therapeutic journaling practices that foster reflection and healing.
