Black breastfeeding is more than feeding. It’s health, history, choice, and reproductive justice. 🤎

This , we’re honoring Black families while also naming the history and systemic barriers that have shaped our breastfeeding experiences for generations. Black families deserve culturally responsive care, accurate information, and the support to make the feeding choices that are right for them.

Swipe to learn, share with your community, and join us Saturday, August 29 for “We All We Got,” a day of community, education, wellness, and celebration. RSVP at the link in bio.

Hot takes that aren’t so hot 😅

We’re getting into the end of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and what gets lost when some call it “just immigration policy.”

Because behind every policy change are real people, real families, and communities whose lives are directly impacted.

Headlines don’t always tell the whole story, so we’re adding more context to the conversation. Staying informed is one way we show up for each other.

Watch, weigh in, and tell us your take in the comments.

Black women are durable, but just like glass, we can break.

During From Harm to Healing: Black Women, Reproductive Justice, and Medical Bo***ge, Dr. Deirdre Cooper Owens, Danielle Toyou, Jessica Knott, and Dr. Joy Bradley, alongside moderator Lori Rodriguez, challenged the myth that Black women must always be strong.

Together, they unpacked the lasting impact of medical racism, reproductive trauma, and inequitable care while reminding us that healing must make room for joy, liberation, community, and the full humanity of Black women. 🧡
