It is with the heaviest of hearts and barely the breath to speak the words that we share the sorrowful news that Anna Pyles, who lovingly supported the work being done by the Tennessee Breastfeeding Coalition, with exceptional professionalism and the kindest of heart, has passed away.

Our hearts are broken, but we find comfort in knowing that her love, light, and energy will live on through us, and that her legacy will continue to shine in everyone and everything and she touched.

Please keep us lifted in prayer always, but especially during this difficult time.

The celebration of her life information will be shared soon.

What an honor!

Tiana E.H. Pyles, MHA, CLC, grew up in a family where breastfeeding was tradition—passed down through three generations of mothers before her. Now a proud mother of four, Tiana has spent her career turning that inherited sense of strength and heritage into work that reaches far beyond her own household. ♥️ Learn more about our at cheerequity.org/champions

Lactation licensure in Georgia, with the country and the world watching: What did we win? What did we lose? Where do we go from here?

Lactation licensure remains a critical topic for our field. We are hosting a facilitated discussion with an in-depth Q&A session to reflect on our panel’s insights regarding the timeline and after effects of the lactation professional licensing law.

This session will also examine how the licensure of qualified Lactation Professionals and IBCLCs may improve breastfeeding outcomes, as well as the potential for licensure to create systemic barriers to care and clinical support.
These insights are essential to our Symposium's mission and our theme, "Creating An Ecosystem Where All Breastfeeding Families Can Thrive."

Bring your questions and join us for this important topic and more at the Tennessee Breastfeeding Symposium!
