Mission Statement

Nourish & Thrive is an equity focused nonprofit dedicated to minimizing barriers that contribute to the low percentages of Black birthing people successfully or continually breastfeeding. Our mission is to change the narrative surrounding lactation in the Black community by; providing access to lactation support and education, supporting increased representation for Black people by addressing systemic barriers to promote inclusivity in the field of lactation support, and normalizing/destigmatizing breastfeeding in the Black community by increasing positive imagery using a variety of outlets.
