  • Summary

  • In this episode, Simeca speaks with Janiya about the interconnectedness shared between breastfeeding and social justice. They highlight disparities experienced as mothers and as Lactation Consultants from their current bases of existence and professional operation. Additionally, they highlight gaps that exist in the support of (or lack thereof) of breastfeeding parents.


    An important note here is that the recording was done during Black Breastfeeding Week (August 25-30) during World Breastfeeding Month. Though, technically, every day is about Black people and how we manoeuvre the world - to have such an important conversation in a momentous week made the experience more relatable and relevant.


    Additionally, you'll hear Simeca giving praise to the creator of The Melanated Mammary Atlas, and Janiya followed with the name, Nekisha.


    Nekisha Killings, another Lactation Consultant is the Founder of The Melanated Mammary Atlas, which is a mobile friendly Web application that features a searchable directory of images of various breast-related conditions on brown skin.


    Lastly, IBCLC is the professional certification for healthcare providers who specialise in the clinical management of breastfeeding.
