Hello, Beautiful Family!

I’m Krisette Cole, and I am absolutely thrilled that you’ve chosen to embark on this journey with The Mosaic Collective. This journal isn't just a guide; it’s a living document—a testament to your fierce love and dedication to building a strong foundation for your baby.

This is your moment to claim your power.

You are stepping out of the role of passive participant and into the role of intentional designer of your own health and your baby’s future. Every page you fill out, every conversation you have, every boundary you set is an act of resistance against the chaos and a commitment to the sacred rhythm of life and creation. Remember, dear friend: "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." (Proverbs 16:3)

I know the journey isn't always easy. I acknowledge the chronic stress and systemic pressures that often weigh down Black, Brown, and marginalized families. But here, we turn that pain into purpose. This journal is a space where we transform fear into action, where we trade worry for wisdom, and where we move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling equipped. Your family is a beautiful, unbreakable mosaic, and this work the essential labor that strengthens the bond between the individual pieces.

So, take a deep breath. Let the love that brought you here fuel these pages. Thank God for your body that is doing the miraculous work of creating life and for the partner(s) He has given you. And remember this above all else:

You are strong. You are seen. You are fully supported. Your success is my greatest joy, so let’s create something beautiful - together.

With love and expectation,

Krisette Cole, LVN, CCCE, CLD, CPD
