About
Black Breastfeeding Week is a time to celebrate, honor, and uplift Black families who are on this journey in providing Human Milk to their children. Chocolate Milk Café is excited to participate in this annual initiative to aid in combating the disparities and myths surrounding the Black community and our ability or desire to provide our families with human milk.
Each year, we look forward to taking this time to let our communities know that we are here for them and acknowledge their commitment and determination. Participating in Black Breastfeeding Week helps uphold to our mission and vision.
