WE HAVE ARRIVED!

Happy New Year everyone, It's time for our January Newsletter!

Meet our Project Coordinator Emani!

Hi Everyone,

I am Emani Miller, currently a first time stay at home mama and new Project Coordinator for Mighty Little Giants! My family and I recently relocated back to good ol' Palmdale from the San Fernando Valley to be closer to family. I have a 9 month old son and a husband of three years. I am so excited to cultivate new relationships and to walk into this new space and submerge myself within this exciting world of helping NICU mamas, babies and families! 

If you have any inquiries regarding MLG, feel free to reach me at: [email protected]!

Meet Our Virtual Support Group Facilitators

Talor is an aunt and cousin/aunt of two toddlers who have opened her eyes even more to motherhood and the beauty of birth. At the age of 14, Talor was diagnosed with PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome), leaving her feeling scared and unsure about her physical abilities to provide for children.

Her determination to understand her own body sparked a curiosity to want to understand even more about women’s health, herbalism and becoming a doula. After graduating from the University of Southern California with her Masters in Social Work, she began obtaining her hours in community mental health. Talor quickly recognized that she did not want to continue with community mental health. This realization re-ignited her passion for women’s health both within mental health and the doula setting.

As a single mother by choice of a child born premature, Ginette has an insider's understanding of navigating the NICU and advocating for a child.  She is passionate about supporting mothers, specifically mothers navigating the health care system. 

Ginette offers a nurturing and humorous approach and knows that having support is vital. She also provides an LGBTQIA affirmative, inclusive safe space for you to explore you. Ginette works to empower you as you navigate life transitions inside and outside of the NICU. She also believes in the intersection of psychotherapy and social change, and see the impact of intergenerational trauma, especially on BIPOC psyches and bodies.
