In 2016, series creator Elizabeth Bayne decided to extend the project into a feature-length documentary which will explore the unique environmental and socioeconomic challenges that contribute to low breastfeeding rates among African Americans.

CHOCOLATE MILK: THE DOCUMENTARY 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. By creating an engaging narrative centered around the challenges of breastfeeding, Chocolate Milk will spark public discussion on how communities can better support black mothers.
All are welcome to join us for a free screening of Chocolate Milk: The Documentary in honor and celebration of Black Breastfeeding Week! We’ll also have some light refreshments and door prizes!

Registration is now open for our Friends of La Leche League trip to New Orleans this November. We are looking forward to this chance to gather with LLL friends for fun, learning, and reminiscence. Staying in the historic French Quarter, our group will experience the warm hospitality, enriching culture, delectable cuisine, and general joie de vivre of New Orleans.
The Friends of La Leche League trip will offer time to reconnect with old friends and make new ones as we explore this wonderful city. Our itinerary includes a variety of cultural activities and tasty meals. We also will commune together and hold our unique We Remember ceremony to honor LLL Leaders and Friends who have died since our San Diego trip in 2017. The New Orleans trip schedule also includes free time for you to see and do activities on your personal “bucket list” for travel and adventure.
We are thrilled that La Leche League co-Founder, Marian Tompson, is planning to join us on the trip. Friends of LLL is collecting donations to fund her travel expenses.
