DBM Episode 35 Aggie Pride: Breastfeeding & HBCUs featuring Janiya Williams

#DearMama, Your gifts will make a way for you. Speak into existence all you desire for yourself, your community, your children, your friends, and your family. Declare for yourself how you will be fulfilled by your work. Show up in the fullness of your authentic self and allow your talents to bless the world.  

In this episode #BlackMamaMagic + #AggiePride = Janiya Mitnaul Williams (@mrswilliamswiththesons), mother of four, founder of  Mahogany Milk Support Group (@mahoganymilk) and literally works everyday to change the trajectory of the health outcomes among Black people as the current Program Director of the Pathway 2 Human Lactation Training Program at North Carolina A&T, the 1st lactation certification program at a public HBCU.⁣⁣  

Our desire is to expand the conversation around breastfeeding beyond the physical to the spiritual and position breastfeeding as a critical element of the movement for Black Lives.  We need more of us showing us how to feed our babies in the thriving Promise Land we imagine.  So we are excited to have a conversation with a Black Mama laying this critical foundation for liberation.
