Womenlines guest contributor Maiye Waller from North Carolina, United States, is sharing her empowering story of being a survivor of infant loss who is on a unique mission to give a voice to women and babies in her community by making sure they receive the most adequate maternal care and support during and after pregnancy.

I moved from my hometown of St. Petersburg, Florida to Greensboro, NC in November of 2016. I previously carried a long-distance relationship with the then “Love of My Life” Dave. After just a couple of months here, I was instantly gifted with the biggest blessing of all, my first baby! I was about to be a mother to a little boy I had named Mace. The whole pregnancy was the most beautiful experience ever! I felt like he brought me so much luck. We won contests and I even had two Baby Showers! This kid had it all. By God’s grace, I went on to carry him full term. To my surprise, my mom flew in on the morning before my due date. I can say that September 19th,2017 is a day I remember unambiguously because it was the day before my life changed in the most irrevocable, unnatural way…

This is Mai Truth..

On 9/20/2017, I gave birth to my son Mace A. Williamson. The labour was long! 32 hours total! The most exhausting 32 hours that couldn’t have prepared me for the first few seconds of Mace’s life. “Code Teddy Bear”! I heard someone say. My mom caught a quick picture of Mace. He looked just like I had dreamed! But he wasn’t crying, His eyes were closed, and they were wheeling him off before I could even hold him. I was confused. They told me he had to be on some cooling blanket for 3 days. Still muddled, I didn’t think of it being a serious emergency because this was my first baby and I really didn’t know anything, seriously. Not even that “practice push” term the nurse used during the birth. So after not three, but SIX days in the NICU without a diagnosis; I had to leave the hospital. Away from him. Mace. They wanted me to leave my baby there alone. I was devastated. But God knew I couldn’t bear it. That same day, I got the news that I was blessed with a room at the Ronald McDonald House!

I was able to stay there while my son was in the NICU. I would have to be away from David most of the time though because he had to go back to work immediately. Mind you, he had taken only just a few days off after Mace’s birth. His boss understood but Dave knew that our finances were looking funny. He had to provide, so day in and day out, I was with my son Mace in the NICU. ALL-DAY. It was the most emotional experience ever. I had so much anxiety! I dealt with depression. I was pumping breastmilk, but it seemed like the less my baby was near me, the less milk my body produced. Or my body knew something that I didn’t want to believe…

On the seventh day of Mace’s life, he was given an MRI. It was determined that Mace had suffered brain death due to a birth injury caused by the vacuum-assisted delivery.  It was something I could have never prepared for. YOU DON’T PREPARE FOR IT! You can’t. The life I carried for 9 months, gone. The dreams and goals I had for me and my little family, gone. I was dead at that moment. I just wanted to be with Mace. I mean, what else could be to live if I wasn’t a mom to him?

I love and respect every staff member of the NICU that tended to my son as well as the one’s across the world. BUT I wish someone had been real and just told me from day one that he was gone. I asked! If I had known what I know today, four years ago, he never would’ve made it to the NICU. For 6 days I watched helplessly as my baby boy Mace was being poked and prodded, all useless. That’s probably the harshest reality of being a NICU mom/Loss Mom. Seeing my baby being given useless medication or tests ran that they knew were no good to him. I had to end this! He was just a vessel; his soul was gone!

Mace passed away in my arms without monitors on October 2nd, 2017. Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep, another nonprofit organization that partnered with the local hospital; did the final photographs for us to remember our Mace. Those two nonprofit agencies gave me a vision…

So, I fought for peace, closure, and the truth for four long years. I had to stand for something. He was a bundle of life and joy before I went in for the birth. He was let down and so was I. From that day I promised to dedicate my life to him because he was taken.

In his honour, this year, I created the nonprofit organization called The Mace Anthony Williamson Foundation. The mission of the Mace Anthony Williamson Foundation is to give a voice to women and babies in my community by making sure they receive the most adequate maternal care and support during and after pregnancy. I will provide doulas to new qualifying mothers free of charge as a way of extending strong support for them during and after pregnancy and/or perinatal loss. In time, I will fund a community support centre that promotes mental health, provide any kind of support needed for women and families who have dealt with fetal death or babies in the NICU for extended stays.

We have only just opened our doors in May 2021 but the response has been very overwhelming but much deserved. I was contacted by The Florida Dept of Health’s TOPWA (Targeted Outreach Pregnant Women Act) Program in Pinellas County, Florida, to bring me on board as a referral specialist, I am from St. Pete, so we knew without question it would be a huge impact in the community. I have even gotten some celebrity reach in just this short period of time; Gretchen Carlson is probably the most special and significant connection that I have made! She is on the Board for the March of Dimes. I have given this Foundation everything I have. I must walk by Faith. I must be that light. I know people are my passion and I also know that my pain turned into my purpose.

Since May the support has been amazing! I have had several nonprofit organizations reach out to collaborate with us for NICU Awareness month in September. I, in turn, reached out to some too. We all have a similar vision.  I am all for collaboration.  I recently launched a project called “The L.O.S.S. Group Project”. It stands for “Ladies Owning ‘our’ Stories of Survival. the L.O.S.S. Group Project is a Blog Group that is open to listening to ANY and ALL women sharing AND owning their unique “stories of survival”!  We all just want to be heard. I know you can probably relate to also always being the one to hold things in, always being the one that just accepts what has happened to them and blamed yourself for it and running away from the truth!

Jim Kwik is one of the world’s most famous brain training coaches who shows you how to tap into your very own mind power. For the past three decades, Jim taught his learning techniques to students from universities such as NYU, Harvard, Columbia, Stanford, and Singularity, as well as executives and employees from companies such as Nike, GE, Zappos, SpaceX, and Virgin to get the most out of work and life. In this powerful presentation, Jim Kwik talks about unlocking your Super Brain by incorporating effective productivity tips that will help you learn faster. In this video, Jim Kwik explains six tips on how to learn faster and how to use the “FAST” technique as part of your daily brain training regimen.

Insights for Empowered Females to have a super brain

Here is the list of insights I picked from this video-

• All learning is emotional state-dependent. The emotional state that you feel while learning is anchored to your learning
• There is nothing like a good and bad memory. There is either trained or untrained memory
• Your brain is like a supercomputer and your self-talk is like a computer programme so better monitor your self-talk!
• Why it is important to “Learn How to Learn Fast”
• Two super-villains: Digital Overload & Digital Destruction
• Everyday perform brain yoga (doing squats holding right ear lobe with the left hand and left ear lobe with right hand)
• Always learn with the intention to teach to others what you have learnt
• Digital Dementia – How modern people are losing simple memorisation capabilities
• The mind learns from creation

Mantra for fast learning:

Remember the full form of FAST as explained by Jim Kwik in his blog –

THE F IN FAST STANDS FOR FORGET.

• If you want to speed up ‘kwik brain,’ you must temporarily forget three things.
• Forget what you already know about the subject. A lot of people don’t learn faster because they feel like they already know the information. But your mind is like a parachute; it only works when it’s open.
• Forget about anything that’s not urgent and important. You can’t multitask. If your brain is thinking about 4 different things, you’re not fully present – so you won’t learn ‘kwik’ly.
• Forget your limitations. These are beliefs like your memory isn’t good, or you’re a slow reader, or you don’t have the right education to learn. But if you fight for your limitations, you get to keep them. Your memory isn’t fixed, and it is possible to remember hundreds of words and numbers the way I do onstage.

THE A IN FAST STANDS FOR ACTIVE.

• In school, we were taught to learn by consuming information quietly. But you don’t learn by being lectured to. You learn by creating information and being active in the process.
• Learning is NOT a spectator sport.
• How can you be more active in your learning?
• Ask questions.
• Take notes.
• The more active you are, the more you will learn.

THE S IN FAST STANDS FOR STATE.

• Your state is a snapshot of your mood – the mood of your mind and your body. It’s the emotional well-being that you feel in that exact moment.
• Information combined with emotion becomes a long-term memory.
• Many of us don’t remember what we learned in school because the umbrella emotion for most people in school was boredom.
• You are the only person in control of your state.
• How can you improve your state?
• Change your posture or your body or breathing.
• Sit or stand the way you would if you were totally energized.
• Think about how you’ll benefit from the information.

THE T IN FAST STANDS FOR TEACH.

• If you want to cut your learning curve in half, learn with the intention of teaching it to somebody else.
• If you had to give a presentation on what you’re learning today, you would learn it differently. You would pay closer attention. You would take more detailed notes. You would ask better questions.
• When I teach something, I get to learn it twice.
• People often say that those who can’t do teach. But I never saw that as a negative. I always thought, wow, if I can’t do something, I can teach it, and then I can do it.

It’s about working with your brain waves and treating them like your very own superpower.

Increase your Online Presence

Online presence is about all activity and content that any business or any person is having under her name. In simple words, you can define online presence as to how easy it is to find the person or brand on the internet. Consistent sharing of the content can contribute a lot to establishing a strong online presence.

Once you start publishing your content in form of articles, videos, podcasts, infographics, ebooks etc it can help in establishing your credibility. People start seeing you as an industry expert.

Content is regarded as a king, always! You can create an incredible amount of content, but it won’t do you much good if it’s not advancing your brand. To really create an impact with your content, there’s another important factor to keep in mind: consistency. Womenlines can help you to publish consistent content every month in the online magazine and reach out to people globally.

What is consistent content?

It’s important to be regular in what you share, how you share it, and when. Quality and frequency are key when it comes to consistent content. You should also be creating new content at a consistent frequency. Google is a big fan of fresh content. The search engine considers it a good sign that your website is updated with the latest relevant content. The reward will be an increase in your digital presence.

Why it is so important to increase online presence?

Consistent content is that content that is posted frequently. The content is informative to the readers and helps them in making their life better. And when the frequency of posting will increase it will prompt Google to reward you with an increase in your online presence. Take a note that if you are sharing your content on various other websites out of your own social media circle it will contribute more to increasing your online presence.

Some reasons why it is important to increase online presence-

• It creates authority and trust
