It was a full week Galeras. How goes it?
Made a few meals with my Father in law. It was fun and interesting to learn some new techniques in the kitchen.

Mostly a busy time but it’s starting to calm down.
Painter’s Breakfast
Hola galeras,
Hope you are well. I’m ok. Mostly just making a lot of heart and trying to think of invent of ways to feed myself. On a very exciting news my YouTube channel finance 400 subscribers so we’re about 600 from 1000. I’m just very excited about it I know it’s simple and it doesn’t really interest how many people but it interest me so I’m going to tell you about it.
I did fix the you to use is now in the painting.
The breakfast today was really good like really good. I really love guacamole so it’s just kind of perfect.

Cradling Life
Intro.
The first few months of life are a critical period of growth, development, and bonding for newborns and their families. However, for Black babies and their families, this period can be fraught with unique challenges and disparities. Systemic racism, socioeconomic factors, and inadequate access to healthcare can all impact the health and well-being of Black babies. Postnatal support for Black babies and their families address these disparities.
The Alarming Reality:
Black infants are disproportionately affected by poor birth outcomes, including higher rates of:
- Infant mortality (2.3 times higher than white infants)
- Low birth weight (1.5 times higher than white infants)
- Premature birth (1.5 times higher than white infants)
These disparities are not solely the result of individual choices or behaviors, but rather are influenced by systemic factors such as:
- Limited access to prenatal and postnatal care
- Racial bias in healthcare provider decision-making
- Socioeconomic stressors, including poverty and housing insecurity
The Importance of Postnatal Support:
Postnatal support is critical for ensuring the health and well-being of newborns and their families. This support can include:
- Home visiting programs, which provide regular check-ins and support for new parents
- Breastfeeding support and education
- Access to mental health services, including counseling and therapy
- Connection to community resources, such as food banks and parenting support groups
For Black families, postnatal support can be particularly vital in addressing the unique challenges they face. By providing targeted support and resources, we can help mitigate the effects of systemic racism and promote better health outcomes for Black babies.
Addressing Disparities:
To address the disparities in postnatal support for Black babies and their families, we must take a multifaceted approach. This includes:
- Increasing funding for programs that provide targeted support to Black families, such as home visiting programs and breastfeeding support services
- Providing cultural competency training for healthcare providers, to address implicit bias and ensure that care is tailored to the unique needs of Black families
- Promoting community-based initiatives, such as peer support groups and parenting classes, to provide connection and support for Black families
Conclusion:
The first few months of life are a critical period of growth and development for newborns and their families. For Black babies and their families, this period can be marked by unique challenges and disparities. By providing targeted postnatal support and addressing systemic disparities, we can promote better health outcomes for Black babies and support the well-being of their families. It’s time for us to cradle life and ensure that all families have the support they need to thrive.
I read a few articles and had spellcheck jazz it up.
The point of this painting for me is that I want to see the next generations enjoy my art of themselves. Something has to give.

Hola galeras,
I wanted to share some old rolls of mine with you. I’m getting this feeling that Meta is the wrong path.
I normally post them on my Patreon. I want to share more with you these days.
Painter’s Breakfast
Hola galeras,
How goes it? What’s new?
I’m but a little exhausted. Lots of art and a few ideas to voice. Let’s chat.
Starting a new painting
And so I go again into the darkness to leave scars in the rock making little lights in the air.
Shorts for the week
I was planning on making something this week and this face stuck with me.
The thing is at first it was really flattering. This algorithm finds you so interesting that it would like to help you manage your career to be better and more profitable then you realize they’re just an answer to everyone.. The bitterness has sat in. 😂👎🏾
I just really love Miles Davis. Somewhere in my 20s I discovered jazz albums and they have stuck with me the rest of my life.. Miles is one of the first albums I ever heard.
I hope the week has been nice to you. It has been OK for me, but it is only gonna get better from this day forward.
Lastly, I just want everyone to know it’s OK to be sad right now or angry, but don’t stay with that feeling for too long. We are creative. We are amazing and we are intelligent, so we’re gonna figure out a way to do some thing interesting something smart And something incredible.
I believe in you because you believe in me and so we’re both real.
