Black Families, This One’s for Us — Breastfeeding Workshop Builds Community & Connection
On September 27, 2025, We All Rise hosted a community-centered breastfeeding workshop at 430 S. Webster Ave., led by our Health & Wellness Team — Lamecia Merchant, Community Health Worker, and A’tianna Merchant, Maternal Health Technician.
This gathering created a safe, affirming space for Black mothers, fathers, grandparents, and supporters to share their stories, learn from one another, and reflect on how breastfeeding connects to culture, family, and legacy.
Participants discussed both the beauty and the barriers of breastfeeding, emphasizing the importance of community support, representation, and culturally grounded maternal health care.
“This isn’t just a class,” one attendee shared. “It’s a reminder that our babies thrive when our community surrounds them with love.”
We All Rise extends heartfelt gratitude to everyone who joined this conversation and to our dedicated facilitators, Lamecia and A’tianna, whose work continues to uplift maternal and family health in our community.
💛 Together, we’re building a culture where every Black family feels seen, supported, and surrounded with care.

It’s so powerful that this space centered not just moms but the whole village — especially the conversation around how breastfeeding ties into culture and legacy. That kind of representation in maternal health is exactly what families need to feel seen and supported.

Thanks for the helpful insights. An instagram reel downloader has become part of my daily routine because it lets me save interesting reels for offline viewing whenever I have free time.
I found this article incredibly uplifting because it highlights how community-focused initiatives can create meaningful support networks while promoting health, confidence, and connection. The breastfeeding workshop goes beyond sharing information by creating a welcoming space where Black families can come together, exchange experiences, and build relationships with others who understand their journey. What stood out most was the emphasis on community empowerment and ensuring that families feel seen, supported, and encouraged throughout the parenting experience. Events like these play an important role in reducing isolation, increasing access to valuable resources, and fostering a stronger sense of belonging. As someone who values education, support, and community engagement, I appreciate initiatives that help people learn from one another while building lasting connections.…
