A Love Letter to Maine is the 2026 Maine Women’s Project series celebrating the voices, stories, and quiet strength of the women who call this place home. Through reflection, connection, and belonging, six women share what it means to live a life shaped by Maine — its landscapes, its communities, and its heart.
Meet Leah Deragon
This February, the Maine Women’s Project is honored to highlight Leah Deragon of Birth Roots, a woman deeply committed to supporting mothers, families, and the early days that shape us. Through her work, Leah helps build circles of care, reminding women they were never meant to do this alone. Her love letter reflects the heart of that mission: connection, tenderness, and the power of being held in community.
