  ------
  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.
  ------
  We warmly invite breastfeeding families and everyone in the community who is interested in supporting black families to join us!

  These events are free. Please pass this invite along to those you know who might be interested!
