This annual event is a cornerstone of Black Breastfeeding Week, dedicated to uplifting and supporting Black breastfeeding families through education, advocacy, and community empowerment. Recognizing the persistent disparities in Black maternal and infant health outcomes, Chocolate Milk & Cookies creates a culturally affirming space that celebrates Black motherhood while addressing systemic barriers.

Hosted in collaboration with community partners, this family-friendly celebration provides:

Free baby supplies to support breastfeeding families
Raffles and giveaways promoting wellness and joy
A curated selection of local Black-owned vendors offering products and services
Access to lactation support and health resources tailored to Black families
Opportunities for genuine dialogue with Black doulas, birth workers, and maternal health advocates
The event underscores the critical role of culturally competent care in improving maternal health outcomes. Through connection and education, we strive to close the gaps caused by historic inequities and foster environments where Black families thrive.

Whether you are a parent, partner, doula, health professional, or supporter, Chocolate Milk & Cookies is more than a celebration—it is a movement advancing Black maternal health equity and community resilience.
