Description

In collaboration with DHMIC & Nemours, Black Mothers in Power presents a movie screening of Chocolate Milk: The Documentary Black Breastfeeding Week occurs August 25-31 each year to raise awareness and celebration around breastfeeding with the African American community. This year on August 27 from 6-9pm Black Mothers in Power will be collaborating with Delaware Healthy Mother & Infant Consortium (DHMIC) and Nemours to screen “Chocolate Milk: The Documentary". Registration is required for this event. As a 100% grassroots organization we welcome monetary donations. All funds will serve Black mothers and babies within our communities in Delaware. “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. Our goal is to premiere the film in 200 community screenings across the country during National Breastfeeding Month in August 2019.” For more information about this documentary you can visit: http://www.chocolatemilkdoc.com Want a sneak peek of the film?
