We are here to advocate for our community and teach us the importance of mobilizing a community and sharing our stories to seek accountability and change.
who I am?
My name is Kimberly Turbin Ive dedicated my time to patient advocacy for over 10 years passionate advocate for maternal and infant rights. She has also taken on the role of an expert patient advocate and peer educator, sharing her experiences and knowledge to support and empower others. Her journey into advocacy began in 2013, after the birth of her son. It was during this experience that she confronted the harsh reality of mistreatment and assault within the birthing process. This experience spurred her to take action and become a voice for those who have been wronged.
