"Data shows that the US lags behind many of its allies around the world when it comes to paid parental leave, maternal healthcare, adolescent fertility rates, and, increasingly, reproductive rights. It also has a persistent gender pay gap, with women earning on average 82 cents to every dollar...

@VictoryinJesus I don't see a lot of women choosing to be homemakers around me. Maybe you might find this encouraging? I like Kelli a lot. I find this video and this type of content encouraging because it inspires me to see the value of my contribution to our household whether it's...
