Image Description:
At the top of the graphic is the word "Integrity" in purple. To the right of the text is a photo of a brown skinned woman of Black and Asian ancestry and her curly black hair is pulled up. She's smiling and wearing a royal blue top, and there are flowers, leafy plants, and grass in the background. The rest of the text on the graphic reads, "Being a member of The Firecracker Foundation means working with integrity — being open to learning and to seeing our own inevitable shortcomings, blind spots, and biases. It means committing to accountability, seeking to be part of repair, and investing in the work to put ourselves in right relationship with each other. Integrity means that we develop our capacity to do hard things and speak truth to power and to our loved ones, to our allies, and to our adversaries. — Chong-Anna Canfora, Board President" Below these words are a small image of a sparkler and the web address "thefirecrackerfoundation.org".

It's been encouraging to watch TFF's
dedication to the needs of the collective and to finding creative ways to ensure that the organization continues to thrive. — Elizabeth K. Abdnour, Board Member. Below these words are a small image of a sparkler and the web address "thefirecrackerfoundation.org".

At the top-center of the graphic in big purple letters is the word: "Interconnectedness". Below this title are the words: "As doulas, we believe that birthing without complex barriers should be accessible to all. When we accompany birthing folx on their journey, we use our skills to identify the interconnected factors that impact a healthy and safe experience.
We know that families need full spectrum care in order to thrive — from evidence-based resources about newborn/infant care and lactation goals to respite support for the parents and their families.” Below this in purple are the words: "— Domonique Brace, PALS Coordinator."

Image Description: At the top of the graphic, in purple, are the words "Transparency takes courage and vulnerability". Underneath this and to the left is a photo of a Black woman with braids resting against her right shoulder and shaved hair above her left ear which is adorned with a gold teardrop earing. She's wearing a blue top and deep pink lipstick, and she's smiling. To the right and below this image are the words: "Especially about things that we find challenging, the areas where we are struggling and need support, or when we have made a mistake. I've learned that fostering trust and mutual understanding in our relationships helps us to feel safe enough to share our truths. It becomes easier to show up in our tenderness, to be our whole selves, and to learn how to stand in our integrity when we are supported by people who are committed to the same values and who listen to us without judgement." Below this in purple are the words: "—Jasmine Salmon, Mental Health Therapist." And, below these words are a small image of a sparkler and the web address "thefirecrackerfoundation.org".
