A bit more about Hallie Newman:
Hallie Newman (she/her) is, in no particular order, a project manager, community builder, connector, and a mother. She thrives on connecting the people in her life to each other around her dining room table and eagerly awaits the opportunity to gather again when the pandemic recedes. In the past year she has found deep inspiration and life in her child's giggles, knitting, and hiking in the woods.
In 2019 she experienced the magic of pregnancy and the birth of her first child, something that blew her heart wide open and also exposed her to the unfortunate reality of what it is to be pregnant and working in the United States. With no legal protections in place for her as a pregnant woman, and eventually new mother, working at a small company Hallie navigated the infuriating and heart-wrenching decisions that birthing parents around the country must make on a daily basis. Hallie is committed to using her privilege to tell her story in the hopes that we, as a society, can find a way to lift up and support the fragile prenatal and postpartum periods for parents.
