The last week of August 25 – 31st, is Black Breastfeeding Week, which focuses on the racial disparities in breastfeeding between white and black mothers. Chocolate Milk®: The Documentary explores this issue through the stories of three African American women: a new mother, a midwife and a WIC employee. By creating an engaging narrative about the challenges and joys of breastfeeding, we hope to spark public discussion on how communities can better support black mothers.
