All of this! There are dads who do a great job at being a supportive dad, there dads who want to be a great dad but they don't know where to start, there are dads who are great dads but they're hanging on by a thread, there are dads who are doing their best and they are breaking generational curses. We see you! We commend you! We created Dedicated Dads just for you!

“WE ALL WE GOT: 15 Years of Community, Care, and Collective Power.”

BLACK BREASTFEEDING AND MENTAL HEALTH

Choosing to breastfeed can carry an emotional weight that others may never see.

Family opinions, relationship dynamics, workplace barriers, public judgment, concerns about milk supply, and the pressure to constantly defend your decision do not happen separately. They accumulate.

Even well-meaning loved ones may discourage breastfeeding because they want to protect mothers from the challenges they know they may face. But that concern can still leave a mother feeling misunderstood or alone.

This is why culturally responsive lactation support and representation matter. Black mothers deserve professionals who understand the cultural pressures, family dynamics, workplace challenges, and emotional weight they may carry; sometimes without it ever needing to be spoken.

Supporting Black breastfeeding means caring for the whole mother: her body, her mind, her choices, and her emotional well-being.

You do not have to prove yourself here. We understand, and we will support you.

“WE ALL WE GOT: 15 Years of Community, Care, and Collective Power”

Day 2: THE MYTH

For generations, Black mothers were told that breastfeeding would spoil our babies—that holding them too much, responding to every cry, or allowing them to nurse for comfort would make them overly dependent.

But the truth is: babies cannot be spoiled by love.

Responding to our babies helps them feel safe. Holding them strengthens connection. Breastfeeding provides nourishment, comfort, protection, bonding, and healthy attachment styles.

For 15 years, our community has worked to replace harmful myths with truth. We have cared for one another, reclaimed our stories, and collectively taken a stand for Black mothers, Black babies, and Black breastfeeding.

We also acknowledge and appreciate our non-Black partners, allies, and champions. We are grateful for your support and your willingness to stand beside us.

Still, there are historical wounds, cultural barriers, and present-day realities that are specific to Black women. In those moments, WE ALL WE GOT to walk one another through every harsh reality of the past, celebrate the progress of the present, and prepare the way for a brighter future.

A future filled with supported mothers, nourished babies, restored confidence, and beautiful breastfeeding journeys.

We are confronting the myths.
We are reclaiming the truth.
We are caring for one another.
We are moving forward—together.

This is community.
This is care.
This is collective power.

As we begin Black Breastfeeding Week, we could not let the day pass without acknowledging the wonderful trailblazer who has encouraged and supported countless moms right here in Shreveport-Bossier Mrs. Maquanda "Mackey" Roberson.

“WE ALL WE GOT: 15 Years of Community, Care, and Collective Power” reminds us that breastfeeding does not happen in isolation.

Black mothers deserve encouragement, accurate information, skilled lactation support, protected time, supportive workplaces, and communities that honor their feeding choices without judgment.

We salute you, Mackey Roberson, for leading the first Black breastfeeding group in Shreveport and for supporting us through education and empowering us to go against the grain.

THANK YOU FOR LEADING THE WAY!
