As we recognize National Breastfeeding Month, we're reflecting on a meaningful conversation from the CSHE Native Engagement Collaborative (NEC) Cultural Knowledge Exchange in Oʻahu.

NEC members learned from our partner, Breastfeeding Hawaii, about their work to protect, promote, and advocate for breastfeeding families across Hawaiʻi while discussing the barriers many families face within Hawaiʻi's healthcare system. A meaningful takeaway from the conversation was the reminder that postpartum is not simply a period after birth, but a lifelong journey deserving of continued care, connection, and support.

Conversations like these reflect the work of the NEC, where CSHE brings leaders together through cultural knowledge exchange, bi-directional learning, and multicultural solidarity to advance health justice and strengthen culturally grounded approaches to maternal child health.

The CSHE Native Engagement Collaborative (NEC) is in Oʻahu for a Cultural Knowledge Exchange, bringing together Native, Latine, and Black leaders, including members of our partner, Breastfeeding Hawaii, through bi-directional learning, relationship-building, and multicultural solidarity to strengthen culturally grounded approaches to maternal child health.

Our Cultural Knowledge Exchange began with a welcome gathering at the Mauka Warriors Luau, where we experienced Native Hawaiian and Polynesian history, storytelling, music, and traditions as we began a week of shared learning, cultural exchange, and meaningful connection.

We look forward to sharing what we learn and how this Cultural Knowledge Exchange continues to strengthen our collective work.

🌿 Rooted in purpose. Growing together.

Our Executive Director, Karla Walker captured it beautifully:

"In upstate New York, despite the thick haze of smoke lingering from the Canadian wildfires, my team and I at Community Solutions for Health Equity (CSHE) literally took time to breathe and experience nature in all its beauty, affirming our CSHE values, strengthening our leadership, cementing our team's relationships, and building the future of our work together.

Pretty spectacular and forward-focused!!! 💖🙌🏽"

As part of CSHE's monthly Learning Communities, we hosted a Skills & Strategies session titled Watering Our Soil: A Transparent Look at CSHE's Strategic Direction. 🌱

The session offered a deeper look at CSHE's evolving strategic direction for 2026–2029 and the values, relationships, and practices that guide our work. We also shared how the CSHE Praxis Model is being woven across learning, partnership, technical assistance, ethical storytelling, and systems change.

This conversation reflects CSHE's continued commitment to transparency, bi-directional learning, community leadership, and building lasting change alongside our partners.

We look forward to sharing the vision, values, and strategic direction shaping CSHE's next chapter through our upcoming Strategic Plan.

More than funding. More than partnership. This is what systems change looks like when it’s built on relationships. 🤝

Our partnership with Refugee Community Partnership (RCP) highlights this in action. Their work in language justice and immigrant rights is reshaping what access to healthcare truly means.

At CSHE, we believe that lasting health equity doesn’t only happen through transactions or deliverables; it happens through trust, shared learning, and long-term partnership with communities leading the work every day.

For many communities, language barriers are not just communication challenges; they directly impact care, safety, and dignity. RCP is working to change that through community-driven advocacy, language access training, and deep relationship-building.

Through this partnership, CSHE and RCP learn from one another, challenge traditional funder–grantee dynamics, and strengthen the conditions that allow community-led solutions to grow and sustain. This is what it looks like when relationships are treated as infrastructure for change. 🌍

Watch the video to see how relationship-centered partnerships drive real systems change:

CSHE Deputy Director of Strategy & Programs Alexis Major and Operations Manager Ify Nwakudu had the opportunity to represent CSHE at the 2026 Hispanics in Philanthropy (HIP) Conference.

Through workshops, site visits, and conversations with leaders, funders, and community partners from across the country, they gained new insights into community power-building, narrative change, and innovative philanthropic approaches. Those insights and stronger connections will support CSHE's work alongside our network to advance health equity and systems change.
