💜👣 Celebrating Black Breastfeeding Week 💜👣

FLOW is proud to celebrate Black Breastfeeding Week by honoring Black mothers, their strength, their journeys, and the beautiful bond between mother and baby.

Breastfeeding is more than nourishment. It is connection, comfort, love, and a powerful part of maternal and infant health.

Black mothers continue to face inequities and disparities in breastfeeding rates, support, education, access to resources, and maternal and infant health outcomes. These disparities are not simply about individual choices—they are also shaped by access, support, representation, workplace policies, healthcare experiences, and the systems surrounding mothers and families.

Breastfeeding equity means ensuring every mother has the information, resources, support, and opportunity to make the feeding choice that is right for her and her baby.

Today, we are highlighting Black mothers who have graciously given us permission to share their breastfeeding moments. Your willingness to be seen and celebrated helps remind other mothers that representation matters. 💜✨️

Today, on Women’s Equality Day, the Governor’s Advisory Commission on Women is releasing the Guide to Starting a County Commission for Women - a practical resource to help counties create local advisory bodies that elevate women’s voices and experiences.

This guide arrives on a day dedicated to advancing equality and ensuring representation.

It provides:
• tools for community listening and engagement
• a clear blueprint for building a Commission
• ready‑to‑use bylaws and templates

Shaped by stories from the State of the Woman Listening Tour, this new guide helps counties build lasting structures where women’s voices inform local decisions.

Women’s Equality Day is more than a celebration—it’s a reminder.

✨️A reminder of how far we’ve come.✨️A reminder of the women who fought before us.✨️A reminder that there is still work to do.

Today, we honor women who use their voices, challenge barriers, create opportunities, and make the path a little wider for those coming behind them.

When women rise, communities rise. When women are empowered, generations are transformed.

May we continue to use our voices, open doors, break barriers, and make space for every woman to thrive.

Keep showing up. Keep speaking up. Keep lifting as you climb.

To our students: Learn boldly. Dream BIG. Stay focused. Believe in yourself. Your possibilities are endless!

To our educators and school staff: thank you for showing up, pouring into our children, and helping shape the leaders of tomorrow.
Here’s to new beginnings, fresh opportunities, and a year filled with growth and greatness!
