I give Miriam a corsage in our very official new blogger pinning ceremony. Or, more accurately, we find a corsage on the bar and think it's funny.
I'm pleased as punch to welcome our newest Feministing blogger, Miriam Zoila Pérez. You may already know Miriam from her own fabulous blog Radical Doula or from her guest blogging stint here a while back.
In addition to her blogging cred, Miriam is also the Senior Advocacy Associate at the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health. All of us at Feministing are really excited to have her on board and can't wait to see her sure-to-great posts.
Find out more about Miriam here and make sure to give her a warm welcome in comments!

Welcome to Feministing! I look forward to reading your thoughts and opinions.
peace
Welcome! I trained as a doula and volunteered at a midwifery center before I came to the conclusion that it was not my calling, and I remain very interested in your work and philosophy. I can't wait to read your posts.
I am thrilled you are joining Feministing, Miriam. I recently discovered your blog; it has been an inspiration. I was a childbirth activist in the 70's and 80's; I had two of my four daughters at home. This year I am going to become a grandmother for the second time. So I am becoming reinvolved in childbirth reform.
Welcome Miriam! I somehow found your "radical doula" essay following the Gonzales v. Carhart decision last spring, and was really an inspiration. I grew up in a family that believed in midwives and mother-led childbirth, and also in feminism and reproductive rights, so I have never put together that the midwifery community and the pro-choice community might be at odds.
I'm really looking forward to reading your posts on Feministing now, as well as on RadicalDoula :).

Welcome Miriam! I've been reading you for quite some time and I'm excited to see that you're joining feministing.com. :)
Oh yay! Miriam is fantastic!
Welcome Miriam! Anyone who's written for Bitch Magazine is a hero in my book. :D
Bienvenidos, compañera! Hey, do you pronounce your "Zoila" name that rhymes with the French word "voila." And if so, after you finish a birth, do you throw your hands in the air and say, "Zoila!" Cuz that would be awesome!
Welcome, Miriam! I enjoyed your posts greatly during your prior stints on Feministing so I am glad that you are an official part of the Feministing family now. :-)
