I’m beyond excited to announce that I’m hosting my first community event! 💛

📍Join me on Saturday, April 29th for a screening of Birthing Justice!

✨Birthing Justice tells the story of the Black maternal health crisis and solutions needed to change the maternal care system.

✨Following the screening we’ll have a panel discussion with some amazing local maternal health change makers.

✨This event is for any and everyone who cares about maternal health! Birthworkers, parents, medical professionals, community members, families, everyone!

🔗This is a free event but you MUST register.

We’re busy building this year’s breastfeeding awareness campaign to launch in August, and the stories we’ve been receiving are simply incredible!

Today, let’s talk about support people — those key individuals in our lives who provide everything from emotional encouragement to practical help with breastfeeding basics like positioning, latching, pumping and more.

We’d love to hear about the person or people in your life who impacted your breastfeeding journey and kept you moving ahead on the challenging days.

Share your story and photos at www.pafirstfood.org/my-bf-story and help us build this grassroots campaign.

PS — You don't have to be actively breastfeeding a child (or children) at this time to participate. We're happy to include photos you might have on hand from weeks, months, years or even decades ago!

PSS — This campaign is focused on Pennsylvania residents only, and you must either live here now or have lived here when you breastfed. We're so excited to hear from you!

** Please share this post with your networks to help us spread the word. **
