The birth of @christyturlington’s first child included life threatening complications. The health care she received ensured a better outcome- and Christy never forgot it.

“I had every resource I needed to get my daughter and me safely through,” Christy says of her health scare. “It mainly got me thinking, ‘What about the women who don’t have access to quality, respectful maternity care?’”

That is when Christy gave birth to another something special, @everymothercounts,  a nonprofit orga-

nization dedicated to making pregnancy and childbirth safe and equitable for every mother, everywhere.

Chapter 19 of our soon-to-launch book, 100 Treasures and the Stories They Tell, is the story of a sculpture Christy saw in a window one day that inspired her to step into her power as a mother. And then the sculpture disappeared. The story ends with a classic Heirloomist twist so we hope you will buy the book and enjoy.

It’s easy to hear Christy’s name and associate it with “supermodel” and you should. Her impact on fashion and photography is nothing less than iconic. But it was really special to get to know the advocate, Christy Turlington. At the time my book was written, EMC had invested more than $30 million in community-led maternal health programs across ten countries.

You read that right. Christy Turlington is far more than a pretty face.

Christy, thank you for taking the time to make Chapter 19 a love note to equality, awareness, and most of all, the importance of supporting others who need it. 

Friends, please visit everymothercounts.org and consider a donation if you can. I am not just endorsing the organization because I adore Christy. I endorse this organization because EVERY MOTHER COUNTS.

Every week is race week! This Saturday I’m trying to regain the #shelterinplacefamily5k title from @artiejohann. As fitting for a Mother’s Day weekend race, we’re taking bets for this weeks charity @everymomcounts. You can donate on our fundraising page (link in bio) and tell us who you’re betting on. OR, Venmo me to bet on me (@carly-johann) and Artie to bet on Artie (@RTjohann). Either way, we will match all bets as a donation and double match the bets on the loser, which will be Artie. Every Mother Counts works to make pregnancy and childbirth safe for every mother, everywhere. During this health crisis, they are responding as countless, heart-wrenching stories from women and healthcare providers around the world continue to pour in. They are doubling down on their commitment to support mothers and the individuals who care for them–no matter where they live. #everymothercounts #funraising #virtual5k #linkinbio #carlywillwin #betonmoms #artiewillprobablylose #mothersday #motherdayrace #protriathletes #motherrunner #trimom https://www.instagram.com/p/B_0hW_0hwfK/?igshid=irnejgy3ml03

Photo by @amivitale. Kadija visits Fatna Adem, 28, just a few days before she helped her give birth to a baby girl in a village in Barentu, Eritrea. They wait one week before they give the a child a name because child mortality is so frequent. This week I’m sharing images of women around the world, exploring their lives and the vital roles they play in their communities. @natgeo @natgeoimagecollection @thephotosociety @nikonusa #eritrea #maternalhealth #everymothercounts #nikonnofilter #nofilter #nikon #nikonambassadors #amivitale #photojournalism (at Barentu, Eritrea) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp-5482Fn-F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=lguog1i5ctxp

The truth hurts. . Luckily, we can easily change, and save mother’s, babies, our arteries, hearts, air, water, and earth. . If in doubt watch @cowspiracy and @wthfilm . . How much longer can we live with ourselves as slave owners? Saying that we are for women’s rights, equality, social justice, environmentalism, but still enslave sentient beings, eat their flesh and forcibly impregnate their little girls, steal their babies and breastmilk, and wear their skin? . How is this very simple truth getting by such intelligent people, especially mothers? . Happiness is reducing the suffering of another. . . . #equality #endslavery #everymothercounts #meatless #endleather #dairyalternatives #happiness #evolution #ahimsa (at Ellensburg, Washington) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnMScOpFdwe/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11ojuvye4oc4b

My makeup was destroyed by a splash of water to the face on the log flume. But the children are happy. #motherhood #familyvacay #tibidabo #barcelona In a #clairmccardell #vintage romper, a #lanvin necklace from a couple seasons ago, a #headwrap, and this year's tote of the summer from @shopclarev and @everymomcounts.

It's November so it's time for me to pretend to write, but this year I'm pretending to write with a bunch of other people who actually do write. I'm hoping it will keep accountable so I can really get moving on this story I've had for a long time. Yay accountability! The people are part of a group called The Mighty Pens and they write words to raise money for charity! This year's charity is Every Mother Counts. Every Mother Counts raises money to help more women have safer pregnancies and births. Did you know the US is ranked 55th in maternal deaths? We still have a long way to go, and Mom's are important! So, as part of the group this year, I'm asking for sponsors (cue discomfort, but... It's good discomfort) You can donate a one time amount or, to keep me working, you can donate $X for every X amount of words (say $10 for every 10k I write, keeping in mind the goal of NaNoWriMo is to write 50k words in a month 😬). If you're interested in what I'm writing, maybe I can give a little sneak peak (I say as if it'll ever be a published work 🤣) I know everything is shitty right now. Like, really shitty, but maybe we can raise a little money for a good charity and decrease world suck just a little. https://secure.givelively.org//donate/every-mother-counts/birth-justice-in-2020/katelyn-shacklock I'll leave the link in my bio too. #themightypens #everymothercounts #nanowrimo #nanowrimo2020 https://www.instagram.com/p/CHDb0_mBgzp/?igshid=1vzb33r1gkpd7
