In celebration of National Breastfeeding Month and Black Breastfeeding Week, the Central Coast Breastfeeding Coalition is hosting a 72hr virtual screening of Chocolate Milk: The Documentary. This film is an exploration of the racial divide in breastfeeding. Told through the narratives of three African American women: a new mother, a midwife and a WIC lactation educator, the film seeks to answer the longstanding question of why more African American women are not breastfeeding.
August 29 - 31: Film viewing at home.
August 31 at 7pm: Live Q&A with the director, Elizabeth Baine, and community experts to discuss our local breastfeeding landscape, the challenges our families face, and how best to support and increase breastfeeding rates. A focus of the discussion will be on increasing awareness of and support for our local Hispanic families in their breastfeeding and early parenting journeys.
The film screening and Q&A are FREE. RSVP is required to receive the link to the view the film at home.
RSVP by 8/24 to 805-440-1271 or centralcoastbreastfeeding@
