Breastfeeding in art is an important reminder from history that women have been doing this natural “art” for generations. I always enjoy seeing breastfeeding in art, since someone felt it was important enough to display for future generations to gaze upon.

Changes are made with support. Give breastfeeding moms the support they need to be successful. Change beliefs about public nursing.

Pretty much never covered while nursing in public. But I do wear a face mask!

Breastfeeding is more important than the color of your skin.

The inequities in pregnancy, birth, and lactation support for Black families is well documented. We know it is an issue. But what does that look like in real life? This graphic takes a look at the very real challenges.

White privilege does not mean that white people do not have struggles or that they don't experience these difficulties. It means that their struggles and their experiences with these difficulties are NOT because of the color of their skin. It means that statistically they are less likely (not that it is impossible) to experience these things. It means that they do not encounter these challenges based solely on their skin tone.

It means they aren't followed through a store because of their skin. They may be followed through a store but it would be for a different reason.

White people pointing out that they have experienced these things doesn't prove that white privilege doesn't exist.

*Racist comments will be deleted and the users that make them will be banned from this page. Supportive, kind, caring comments welcomed from everyone. Black people and WOC are welcome to make comments that reflect the reality of ongoing and past trauma, anger, fear, grief, etc. White people, do not center yourself in this conversation, do NOT comment "all lives matter" or some version of it, do not ask Black people to educate you or guide you as to what you should do, and do not argue anything about knowing the whole story. For white people who would like to understand how they have privilege even if they don’t think they have privilege, if you need some resources after you do some googling, let us know. Thank you.

I saw this in a restroom today in California. Beautiful but ironic.
