👶🏽 HAPPY BLACK BREASTFEEDING WEEK!!!

Mama Glow Webinar:
Feeding Forward: Celebrating Black Breastfeeding Week
Presented by: Kiki Milk | Organic Plant-Based Milk

August 26, 6:30-8:00pm ET- VIRTUAL

This Black Breastfeeding Week, Mama Glow invites you to Feeding Forward—a virtual gathering centered on the realities, resilience, and possibilities shaping Black breastfeeding and infant-feeding experiences today.

Breastfeeding is more than a feeding choice. For Black families, the journey can be shaped by everything from prenatal care and birth experiences to access to lactation support, cultural expectations, nutrition, workplace realities, family dynamics, and the systems surrounding maternal and infant health.

Feeding Forward brings together leaders across maternal health, pediatrics, obstetrics, lactation, nutrition, and family wellness for an interdisciplinary conversation about what it truly takes for Black families to feel informed, respected, and supported throughout their feeding journeys.

Join us with titans in maternal health:
- Dr. Alana Arnold – Pediatrician, Founder & CEO, PEMPal
- Dr. Joy Cooper – OB/GYN, Co-Founder & CEO, Culture Care
- Maya Feller, MS, RD, CDN
- Porsche Holland-Otunba, CLC, C-CBE, PMH-C

Mama Glow - A laying on of hands… 🙌🏾

There comes a moment in labor when a mother crosses a threshold—entering an altered state of consciousness, guided by instinct, breath, and the ancient wisdom of her body. In this sacred space, words fall away.

The steady presence of loving hands becomes a language all its own.

Hands that comfort. Hands that anchor. Hands that witness. Hands that remind her she is held as she does the profound work of bringing forth new life.

Birth has always been communal. It is a ceremony of care, where partners, doulas, midwives, family, and chosen community create the conditions for surrender, trust, and transformation.
To be surrounded in labor is to remember that no one births alone.

This is the power of community. This is the medicine of touch. This is the sacred practice of holding the one who is becoming a mother.

Mama Glow - Touch transmits intention, words transmit safety. Presence transmits ease.

Affirmations work on the brain.

In the context of childbirth, affirmations may help by influencing the brain’s perception of stress, pain, and threat. When a laboring person repeatedly focuses on reassuring, believable statements such as “My body knows how to labor” or “Each wave brings my baby closer to being born,” this can reduce anxiety.

Neuroscientifically, lower anxiety can decrease activation of the brain’s threat-detection systems, including the amygdala, and may help reduce the release of stress hormones such as adrenaline. This is relevant because high stress can interfere with the release of oxytocin, a hormone that plays a central role in labor by helping to increase contractions. A calmer emotional state may also engage the brain’s natural pain-modulation pathways, potentially changing how labor pain is experienced, even if the intensity of contractions themselves does not change.

Affirmations- a sentence of powerful words put together, like a positive statement, and this sentence is aimed to tap into your conscious and unconscious mind to motivate you, to challenge you, to push you to reach your full potential in life.

Do you need affirmations to get through your labor when you doubt yourself?

Whether you
•read them on a card,
•Write them down
•acts of touch
•have a doula
•listen to your loved ones
•pray to a spiritual guidance
•or talk to yourself

We can find some source of peace in affirmations.

FIRST FOODS JUSTICE – BREASTFEEDING CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR DOULAS

Tue, Jun 9 – Thu, Jun 25 at 6:00-8:00 PM EDT

Nourishing Our Babies to Nurture Ourselves ✨
We are thrilled to announce the return of the Mama Glow Foundation FIRST FOODS JUSTICE: BREASTFEEDING CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR DOULAS 🙌🏾

This transformative 12-hour certification course centers the safety, care, and empowerment of Black and Brown mothers, birthing people, and families as they navigate the joys and challenges of breastfeeding/chestfeeding. Rooted in reproductive justice and birth equity, the program explores breastfeeding through the lens of first food justice — the belief that every infant deserves optimal nutrition and every caregiver deserves the support to provide it.

Together, we will honor the cultural significance and healing power of breastfeeding while confronting the systemic inequities that continue to impact Black birthing communities. Through education, advocacy, restorative justice, and community-centered care, this program equips doulas and birth workers with the tools, knowledge, and professional support needed to serve their communities with compassion and confidence. ❤️

Hosted by the Mama Glow Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit advancing reproductive justice and birth equity through education, advocacy, the arts, research, and scholarship.
This is more than a certification — it’s an investment in collective healing, community care, and the future of birth work.

Mama Glow - Delayed by Design: 5 Reasons Why Endometriosis Takes Years to Diagnose

Endometriosis is a reproductive condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus grows outside of it, often affecting areas like the ovaries, fallopian tubes, bowel, or even the bladder. This tissue responds to hormonal cycles, which can lead to inflammation, extreme pain, and a range of symptoms that are often disruptive, and at times debilitating.

Despite affecting up to 10 to 15 percent of people of reproductive age, endometriosis can take four to eleven years to diagnose. That’s not because symptoms are rare or insignificant, but because the systems meant to recognize and diagnose them often fall short, particularly for those whose pain is more likely to be dismissed. Black women, for example, are estimated to be 30–50% less likely to receive an endometriosis diagnosis in clinical and claims-based studies.

That delay doesn’t come down to a single missed appointment or overlooked symptom. It’s the result of overlapping gaps in awareness, education, and care—each one making it harder for people to be seen, heard, and accurately diagnosed.

5 Reasons Why The Diagnostic Gap Persists

1. Many People Don’t Realize What They’re Experiencing Isn’t “Normal”

2. It Doesn’t Always Look the Way People Expect

3. Chronic Pain Is Still Too Easy to Dismiss

4. Bias in Care Creates Unequal Timelines

5. Silence, Stigma, and Gaps in Access

The delay in diagnosing endometriosis isn’t inevitable. It’s systemic.

Changing it starts with something simple, but powerful: providers who listen more closely to their patients’ experiences, taking pain seriously the first time it’s expressed, and building systems of care that are informed, inclusive, and responsive. Because no one should have to wait nearly a decade to be diagnosed.

HAPPY BLACK MATERNAL HEALTH WEEK -

👶🏽Love Delivered Celebrates 4 Years of Impact👶🏽

As Black women and maternal health advocates, Founder, Price and Founder, Latham
Thomas understood the necessity of tailored
efforts in the fight to improve maternal health
outcomes for the most vulnerable populations.
Their Black Maternal Health initiative, Love
Delivered, was born out of this shared under-
standing, and the unwavering belief, in Lisa
Price’s words, that “every Black birthing person
deserves access to compassionate, equitable
support at every point of their reproductive
journey”. Since its inception in 2021, the Love
Delivered Initiative has engaged nearly half a
million people through events, doula support
grants, educational programs, and webinars
and over 10 billion digital impressions gen-
erated through advocacy and storytelling
campaigns. The work centers on empowering
births and uplifting birth workers by expanding
access to doula support through the Mama
Glow Foundation.
