Black Breastfeeding Week events 2022

We are excited to announce that boobingit will host a series of live events for Black Breastfeeding Week (25-31 August). Over the course of the week our founder Ruth will be interviewing five special guests on Instagram – starting from Thursday 25 August.

What is Black Breastfeeding Week?

Black Breastfeeding Week is a yearly worldwide campaign founded in 2012 by breastfeeding advocates Kimberly Seals Allers, Kiddada Green and Anayah Sangodele-Ayoka.

Breastfeeding is one of the best investments for saving lives and improving the health, social and economic development of individuals and nations. In the US and in other parts of the world breastfeeding rates amongst black people are lower than their white counterparts. The most recent CDC data show that 75% of white women have ever breastfed versus 58.9% of black women. The Black Breastfeeding Week campaign serves to help reduce these racial disparities by raising awareness of the benefits of breastfeeding amongst black communities.

A New Foundation

This year marks ten years of Black Breastfeeding Week and the theme is ‘A New Foundation’.

Speaking about the meaning of this year’s theme, the organisers said: “For #BBW22, we’re celebrating the countless stories and families- past, present & future. We’ve shifted the narrative/optics, supported and uplifted each other…and it’s still just the beginning. The new foundation of lactation support is built on racial equity, cultural empowerment, and community engagement and is powered by our collective resilience.”

Join boobingit for exciting Black Breastfeeding Week 2022 events

We have a number of exciting events and initiatives lined up to celebrate Black Breastfeeding Week 2022 and we’re looking forward to having you join us! The first of these is a series of Instagram Live events in which we’ll be tackling important breastfeeding topics. We’ll also have a special giveaway and podcast episode for you to look forward to!
