Breaking Cycles, Building Legacies: Breastfeeding Thru Culture & Community

Breaking Cycles, Building Legacies: Breastfeeding Thru Culture & Community

Online event
Overview

Join us to explore how culture and community shape breastfeeding stories and create lasting legacies together.

Feeding your baby isn't just about nutrition; it's tied to culture, generational wisdom, and community.

Yet, so many Black families face conflicting advice, outdated myths, and a lack of culturally relevant support when navigating infant care.

You don't have to figure it out alone.

Join Dr. Tenise N. Hordge—Clinical Director of Mother’s Magical Milk, doctor of health administration, board-certified lactation consultant, author, and fierce family advocate.

This is a judgment-free space designed to celebrate your heritage, bust common feeding myths, and give you practical tools to feed your baby on your terms.

What We’ll Cover Together:

  • Reflect on Your Roots: Unpack the cultural messages and generational beliefs surrounding breastfeeding in Black communities—honoring the wisdom that helps and releasing what doesn't.
  • Separate Fact from Fiction: Learn to easily spot the difference between supportive traditions and persistent myths that get in the way of your goals.
  • Chart Your Own Course: Walk away with actionable strategies to blend your family’s unique heritage with confident, evidence-based feeding decisions.

This Space Is For You If You Are:

  • An expectant or new parent wanting clear, culturally grounded answers.
  • A partner, grandparent, or support person who wants to show up strong for mom and baby.
  • A doula, birth worker, or advocate passionate about maternal health equity.

Reclaim Your Roots. Trust Your Journey. Feed With Confidence.
