I think it's wonderful that mothers are adopting more 'natural' ways to honor pregnancy and birth and motherhood because that is severely lacking in white culture, I hate that it's marketed to us as if we invented it. It's the consumer aspect of it that makes me shake my head.

We need to be careful how we regard other peoples cultures. I come from an English, Scottish, Irish and native background and I have pride in that, It's a part of my identity. I would hate to see anyone taking those cultures and regarding them as "cute" while thinking theirs is better. So I endeavor to behave respectfully towards others while I'm doing things like baby wearing, and henna tattoos.
