Tori Roloff Overcomes Anxiety, Proudly Shows Off Baby Bump

Stop us if you’ve heard this before, but… … we positively adore Tori Roloff. As we’ve noted on numerous occasions in the past, celebrities really do not get more genuine and humble than this long-time cast member on Little People, Big World. Or more relable, we can now add, following a couple recent Instagram posts by Tori. Roloff and her husband Zach, you see, are expecting their second child. Already parents to a cutie patootie named Jackson, the reality stars announced this summer that a sibling is on the way, confirming the blessed news as follows: “We are so excited to announce that Jackson is going to be a big brother! We can not wait to meet our sweet baby girl!” We’ve since learned that the baby is due around Thanksgiving. However, just a few weeks ago telling the public about this incredible news, Tori confessed to feeling quite self-conscious these days. “I’ve gotten bigger a lot faster than I did with Jackson and I’ve become a lot more insecure,” she admitted, sounding just like millions of other pregnant women and then adding: “Hearing people ask me if I’m sure it’s not twins definitely does not help (for all our sakes-don’t ever ask a woman this question. Like ever).” She continued at the  time: “It’s been hard to really enjoy this pregnancy because I’ve let my own body image issues get in the way.” We’re sharing these words again now to remind readers of the mindset Tori was in for awhile — and yet this hasn’t stopped her from recently sharing the two new baby bump photos above. “Cruising around the Willamette with my favorite person was a perfect way to spend our anniversary! Love you so much babe uh!” wrote Roloff as a captiont to the snapshots. Previously, Tori made every piece of our hears shatter into a million pieces via the precious photos above and below of her stomach and of little Jackson. We just applaud her so loudly for overcoming her self-esteem concern and still baring her stomach for all to see. But that’s Tori for you! Consider the inspiring conclusion to her aforecited Instagram message… Us as women are so badass. Like we can grow babies. And I know I need to give this up to God right and be thankful for this gift-and I’m trying trust me. But for all those women out there-pregnant or not- you need to hear this just like I do. You’re beautiful, you’re strong, and dang it love yourself no matter what. I know someone besides just me needs to hear that today. So excuse me while I go try my best to live out these words and continue growing a freaking human being. Tori and Zach have been leading Little People, Big World cast members from the very first. And they’ll continue to be on the just-confirmed new season ! Hooray! View Slideshow: Tori and Zach Roloff: Secrets of the Little People, Big World Stars’ Private Lives

Joy-Anna Duggar on Her Miscarriage: I Miss My Baby Girl So Much!

If you keep up with the Duggars, then you know that earlier this month, the family announced a devastating loss. Joy-Anna, who was 20 weeks pregnant with her second child with husband Austin Forsyth, had lost her baby. As Joy and Austin explained in an Instagram post, they had gone in for an ultrasound to find out the baby’s gender — she was pregnant with a little girl. But during the scan, it was discovered that the baby’s heart was no longer beating . In their post, they said that they’d named the baby Annabell Elise — Annabell meaning “God has favored me” and Elise meaning “God satisfies.” They also told their followers that although the loss was so huge, “God has given us unexplainable peace and comfort during this very difficult time” because “we know that we can trust the Lord.” “We don’t grieve as those who have no hope because we trust that we will see this little one again.” “What a precious thing to know that when our daughter opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the face of Jesus,” they added. So sad, right? Things got even sadder a few days later when Joy and Austin shared photos they took with their late daughter . In the pictures they posted to Instagram, you couldn’t see much of the baby besides the top of her tiny, tiny head, but they were just heartbreaking to see. They were controversial, too — lots of people thought they shouldn’t have shared something so personal . After that, they went back to posting photos of their son, Gideon , and their family adventures, but in their most recent post, Joy decided to touch on their loss once again. And again, it’s just really, really tough to read. For the image, she shared a bible verse that read “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” She wrote the same verse in the caption, along with another that says “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” “Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.” But in additional to the verses, she also wrote a little message of their own. “Our hearts are healing,” Joy began. “Yes, those days come that I miss my little girl so much. Wishing I could have met her, seen Austin love on her and Gideon play with her.” “Yet,” she wrote, “God has given us so much comfort.” “People say that I am strong, but I am not.” “It is Jesus’ strength that has carried me through,” she insisted. “He’s given me a peace that passes all understanding and he has given me His JOY.” It’s so lovely that she’s able to find such comfort throughout this whole tragedy — and whether you love or hate the Duggars, this is clearly a terrible thing for someone to go through. We hope that she continues to heal from this, because again … it’s all just way, way too sad. View Slideshow: 34 Stars Who Have Suffered a Miscarriage

Serena Williams Invests In Startup Focused On Maternal Health

Follow this link:

T he Black maternal health crisis has been an ever-growing issue within our country. According to a report released by the National Partnership for Women & Families, African American women in the U.S. are more likely to die from pregnancy and childbirth than women of any other race. Further research revealed that Black women are more likely to experience preventable maternal death than white women. Tennis star Serena Williams is determined to address these alarming trends. She recently invested in the maternal healthcare startup Mahmee , Black Enterprise reported. . @serenawilliams , @mcuban Invest in Black-Owned Maternal Healthcare Startup https://t.co/WQs7FUUIgc — Black Enterprise (@blackenterprise) July 17, 2019 For Williams, the matter is personal. She has been very candid about the complications she endured while giving birth to her now 1-year-old daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. She needed two surgeries after having a C-section due to a pulmonary embolism that had developed. The app—which was co-created by Melissa Hanna —connects patients with healthcare providers so that they can develop a solid prenatal and postpartum healthcare plan.  Mahmee provides expecting parents with a comprehensive dashboard that tracks the health of the mother and child. Parents can also utilize the platform for educational resources. “Mahmee is a digital maternal health care company that uses predictive analytics to provide personalized, on-demand support to new mothers and infants. Women’s healthcare, in general, is substantially under-regulated. This is across the board. Maternity is just the glaring error of it all,” Hanna told The Helm in an interview. “There is so much work that we need to do on postpartum depression and women’s mental health in general.” Williams is proud to back the growing company. “I am incredibly excited to invest and partner with Mahmee, a company that personifies my firm’s investment philosophy,” she said in a statement, according to the news outlet. “Given the bleak data surrounding maternal death and injury rates, I believe that it is absolutely critical right now to invest in solutions that help protect the lives of moms and babies. Mahmee’s data-driven approach is the right solution to one of the most significant problems in the system: that of fragmented care.” Williams has been dedicated to investing in the futures of women entrepreneurs. In March, she joined forces with Bumble to provide women with capital to start and further their business ventures.

Both are featured in the first trailer for the new season, along with someone who seems to be a former flame of the rapper named Tricia Ana, who is isn’t too happy about the fact that he claims to be happy with Woods. Oooh the drama… It’s unclear how long the two have been dating, but just last September, the beauty gave birth to her first child with fellow model Adonis Basso. His name is Saphir. For the record though, Woods never outright claimed Basso as her partner. She did refer to him as her “baby’s father” though. “I hear sob stories about baby daddy drama,” she told  ELLE UK  in 2018. “Being 21 and my baby’s father being excited is just step one.

She wasn’t expecting to end up in a relationship with a man, either: before Bosso, she had been dating women. ‘I never thought I’d be with anyone like him,’ she says, vague about how she defines their relationship, but pointing out that she likes that they both maintain independence, with him living in LA and her in Brooklyn. She is also keeping the option open of one day being with a woman again: ‘With sexuality, when you are a public figure you have to pick a side, black or white.

A School District In Pennsylvania Turns Down Offer From Local Businessman To Pay Off School Lunch Debts

Source: Mint Images / Getty The efforts of a Pennsylvania businessman were denied after he reportedly offered to pay off $22,467 of a school district’s lunch debt in order to thwart the reported plans of administrators who threatened to place students in foster care over the unpaid debts. Two weeks ago, a widely circulated letter sent to parents from the Wyoming Valley West school district disturbingly laid out a plan of action for parents with unpaid lunch debts. Text “RICKEY”to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). “Your child has been sent to school every day without money and without a breakfast and/or lunch,” the July 9 letter states. “This is a failure to provide your child with proper nutrition and you can be sent to Dependency Court for neglecting your child’s right to food.” “If you are taken to Dependency court, the result may be your child being removed from your home and placed in foster care,” the letter continues. “Please remit payment as soon as possible to avoid being reported to the proper authorities.” Sign Up For Our Newsletter!

Email Submit In an op-ed for The Philadelphia Inquirer, La Colombe Coffee Roasters CEO Todd Carmichael shared his frustration over what he referred to as “shaming” and burdensome in the eyes of parents and local taxpayers. Michael stated that he received a firm “no” from the school’s school board president Joseph Mazur. “On Monday, we talked to School Board President Joseph Mazur to determine the best way to transfer the funds in order to wipe the slate clean and restore dignity to the 1,000 families who received these threatening letters,” Carmichael wrote. SEE ALSO:  Apple Unveils Updated MacBook Air & MacBook Pro For Back-To-School Season “Shockingly, Mr. Mazur turned us down. I can’t explain or justify his actions. Let me be clear: we offered over $22,000 with no strings attached. And he said ‘No,’” Carmichael continued. “Mr. Mazur, I am offering to pay this debt in full. By saying no, you are not just shaming families who elected you, but you are placing this burden on WVW taxpayers, and that is completely unfair,” he added. Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey called the school district’s actions “callous” on Twitter and urged administrators to cease the threats of foster care. Moving forward, the School District has an obligation to find an appropriate way to collect these funds, instead of using threats — Senator Bob Casey (@SenBobCasey) July 19, 2019 The situation is shockingly similar to a story we reported on in May,  where a school in Rhode Island served peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to students with unpaid balances  and denied the efforts of a local businesswoman who wanted to help pay off a fraction of the debt. Low-income students have again become collateral in the fight for who gets to eat and who is objectified for doing so. In the Wyoming Valley West School District, 64% of the students live below the poverty line, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
