Testimonials

We are so honored by the testimonials from our community:

From Jenn C.:

• “Alok, what you are talking about is so wonderfully simple, practical, and easily doable: Shop Local, Buy Fewer Carcinogens…Why doesn’t everyone live like that?”

From Kate L.B.:

• “Just wanted to send you a thumbs up on the website. It is rare to find a man so dedicated to issues that (mostly) impact women, and great to see how well you understand that these kinds of stereotypically female-centric topics impact everyone in a family equally. It is especially nice for me given the recent death of my mother-in-law, who I think I wrote to you about a while back – she was a non-smoker diagnosed with lung cancer 14 months ago, and lost the battle just before christmas. We’re all still reeling, but stories like yours and websites like this make you realize there truly is a community out there dealing with these kinds of issues, and also fighting against the toxic lifestyles/conditions that contribute to these diseases.”

From Jaimie Lindsay, Tucson AZ:

• “I consider myself INCREDIBLY blessed to have an amazing Mamatribe. Many of these women are my dearest friends from my earliest days of parenting and are friends still. This mamatribe of mine is full of mamas who have home birthed, birthed in birthing centers, believed in attachment parenting, extended breastfeeding, stayed home/worked from home, homeschooled, are believers in healthy eating (many vegetarian/vegan, or flexitarian like me) who grow their own food, use cloth diapers, call themselves dirt worshipping tree huggers. We are connected parents who really care about our world. I am a child birth and lactation educator and my extended circle includes organizations that support early motherhood, birth and education.
• So, naturally, I was very excited to see your site, and sent it out to about 300 of that Mamatribe.
• One of my dear mamas in particular, Tricia, mother of 3, is a 2 time recurring stage 4 breast cancer survivor. Her diagnosis rocked our world. Her fight (our fight with her) taught me so much about what Moms can do together when the intention is deep and meaningful. Your dedication of this work to your mother hit home. You will likely hear from Tricia. She is a religious gal, and she has used faith, as well as positive attitude, juicing, diet, detoxing the house…all of it to kick back. I hope she writes for you, because her story is so inspiring.
• There is a HUGE alternative mama nation out there and I am inspired to share it with you. Your site and work should be put in front of them!”
