Hi!

I’m a Bronx, NY based Certified Lactation Counselor, Public Speaker and Maternal Health Advocate. I have the most expertise in lactation during the postpartum/4th trimester period. Thank you for allowing me to be apart of your journey.

Vision

To provide nonjudgmental feeding support to all parents and their babies.

To normalize breast/chest feeding and promote human milk as the cultural norm

To empower marginalized populations with evidence-based breast/chest feeding information

You’ve done the research.
Human milk is a game changer for Black babies and their mothers.

Let’s change the game together.

Just because the other women in your family didn't breastfeed/chestfeed, doesn’t automatically mean you can’t.

You will benefit from the solid advice of someone who looks like you. If you are:

The first one in your family to breastfeed/chestfeed/bodyfeed

Having trouble latching your baby and feeling like you're ready to quit

Angry because your breastfeeding concerns are dismissed by others

Worried about your milk supply
