“NWA has been working to develop partnerships with orgs of color to support #WIC staff in developing knowledge and skills and recognizing that we cannot work in silos. We need each other to move the needle.” - Stacy Davis, Director of Center for Innovative Practices in WIC #BBW23
We want to thank every breastfeeding and lactation consultant, counselor, educator, doula, birth worker and activist who provided spaces for necessary conversations, visibility, resources, and support for black mamas all over.
