This Pride Month feels different. When you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community, this isn’t just a month; it’s your life, every single day. Love is love, and this is our family.
We wave the Pride flag every day, not just in June. And while it’s beautiful to celebrate, it’s also hard to reconcile the joy with everything happening in the world, where so much is still trying to break us down.

After going through IVF, endless ultrasounds, and the wild journey of bringing our daughter into the world, there’s no such thing as TMI anymore. I delivered a baby — we can talk about sex, parenting, and identity. Because if we don’t talk about it, people think it’s all happening in isolation. And it’s not.

Our community is growing — biracial kids, queer parents, chosen families — and we’re raising our children with kindness, openness, and strength. 

We live in Bloomfield now, near Montclair, and I finally understand what it means when people say: it takes a village. Having a baby changes everything — life does a full 180 — but with Camila, our family is whole. 💕
