It is the 10th year of Black Breastfeeding Week and for BBW22, we’re celebrating the countless stories and families, past, present and future
It is the 10th year of Black Breastfeeding Week and this year the theme is A New Foundation, focused on celebrating the countless stories and families past, present and future. BBW has shifted the narrative/optics, supported and uplifted so many…and it’s still just the beginning.
Continuing in the tradition of BBW will be a series of live and recorded webinars, panels and interviews throughout the week focusing on The State of Black Breastfeeding.It was only a few weeks ago that we were celebrating World Breastfeeding Week.
Not only does this week serve to celebrate and amplify the successes black breastfeeding mothers deserve to be recognised for, but it also serves to highlight and revolutionise the hardships black women have faced year on year in regards to birthing and nourishing their babies at the breast. Historically, the act of breastfeeding was seen as a self-demeaning one and women who were seen breastfeeding were often thought of as uncultured, poor and often shunned. This is why white mothers exploited black mother's milk.
