We are a community of mothers, scholars, artists, parents, caregivers, those who will one day become mothers, those who are struggling to become mothers, those who are no longer mothers, grandmothers, ancestors, all born from our mother earth.
This is a resource of our collective knowledge and wisdom. A place to document and share our voices and lived experiences on our continued journey through motherhood in dance academia.
Please share this document anyone who will benefit from its collective knowledge.
For anything you share, feel free to leave your name and contact info, or do so anonymously. We hear you, we see you, we are with you.
Sincerely,
The Motherside Community
