On this celebration of Juneteenth, we pledge our continued commitment to fight systemic racism through the lens of birth work. In doing so, we proudly announce the official launch of our peer breastfeeding support group. "Rooted in Milk" will be a safe, informative space for those who are breastfeeding or planning to.
This space will be sacred yet engaging, with education provided by trained lactation specialists who are able to provide a culturally supportive environment in a bold and direct response to the racism that is faced by those in our community who dare to reject the idea that parents of color do not breastfeed their children.
Today and everyday, we honor our ancestors and we continue in the fight for our freedom to educate, inspire and empower as many families as possible.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or breastfed your own babies and would like to become a part of our mission to increase education and provide a support system for breastfeeding families, join us!
A huge thank you to our community partner Berkeley County First Steps for pledging their support and assisting as a sponsor and ally in this important work.
