Solano County Black Infant Health Program's Mocha Momma Thrives (MMT) Group will be hosting a culturally affirming, 8-week virtual sisterhood group, which will helps develop and redefine participants’ thoughts about healthy, nurturing mothering from a culturally specific perspective. Participants will have robust conversation about important topics such as intergenerational trauma and struggles, nurturing, attachment, communication, village support, resilience, self-care, etc., as well as culturally specific barriers of healthy parenting. More importantly, we discuss protective factors and resiliency tools to support intentional, healthy parenting choices.

This group will take place virtually each Thursday, 5:30 PM - 7:30 PM, from October 9, 2025 - December 4, 2025. The last session date to join this cohort is Thursday, October 23, 2025. Our Graduation Celebration will be in-person on Thursday, December 11, 2025; Location/Time: TBD.

This group is for any Black/African American identifying pregnant, parenting, bonus-parenting, or caretaker, female identifying person, ages 16 years old and over, living in Solano County.

❓It’s Okay to Have Questions...

Leaking breasts? Sore nipples? Not sure if your baby’s getting enough? Know that you’re not alone and you’re not doing anything wrong.

Breastfeeding takes learning and support. That’s why culturally affirming lactation help, support groups, and real talk are so important.

You got this, mama. 💪🏾

Breastfeeding is Our Legacy!

Did you know breastfeeding is part of our cultural legacy?

Before formula became mainstream, Black families across generations nursed their babies with love, strength, and community support. 🤎

💪🏾 Let’s reclaim that power. Breastfeeding is ours, and it always has been.
