About

14 years of Black Breastfeeding Week. 15 years of ROSE. Countless mothers. Countless babies. Countless people who chose to show up. This is community. This is care. This is collective power. And this work isn’t ending when Black Breastfeeding Week ends. 👉🏾 If you’ve ever been part of the ROSE village, leave us a 🌹. #BlackBreastfeedingWeek #WeAllWeGot #BlkBFing #CollectivePower #BirthJustice 📸: @motherhoodportraits_tlashae @wyldflowerbirth @justdolores @chammeebirthphotography @charmedlifephotography @jennifermasonphotography

Black Breastfeeding Week starts TODAY! 🖤🤎💗 This week, we’re celebrating Black families, honoring our breastfeeding journeys, and continuing the work to make sure Black parents have the support, resources, and community they deserve. Because when Black families are supported, our communities thrive. Follow along all week, share our posts, tag a Black breastfeeding parent who deserves to be celebrated, and help us amplify the message: Black breastfeeding matters. #BlackBreastfeedingWeek #ROSE #BLKBFing #BreastfeedingEquity #BlackMaternalHealth

WE ALL WE GOT. 🌹 Breastfeeding was never meant to happen alone. It takes community. It takes care. It takes people who show up. For 14 years, Black Breastfeeding Week has reminded us of the power that happens when we come together for Black families. And today, that reminder feels especially powerful as ROSE & ROBE begin our 15th Anniversary Summit. The village is here. 👉🏾 Tag someone who has been part of your village. #BlackBreastfeedingWeek #WeAllWeGot #ROSE #BlackBreastfeeding #BirthJustice 📸: Michon Siraj @michonsirajphoto @wyldflowerbirth

New Orleans, y’all showed UP! 🥹🌹❤️🏾 Our Community Baby Shower was filled with families, connection, resources, laughter, love and a whole lot of community support. The turnout was incredible, and our vendors came ready to pour into the village. 🤎🏾 A huge THANK YOU to every vendor, organization, community partner, and family who showed up and helped make the day so special. Your presence made the difference. This is what happens when the village comes together. 🍼🌹 And baby, what a village it was! #ROSEandROBE #CommunityBabyShower #BreastfeedingMatters #TheVillageMatters #MaternalHealthEquity

There’s a whole lot of love in the way we nurture our little ones. Let’s keep celebrating that. #BlackBreastfeeding #BlackMaternalHealth #BreastfeedingJourney #BlackMotherhood #ROSE 📸: @charmedlifephotography

And just like that… we’re closing out the Summit New Orleans style! 🎺❤️🏾 Nothing says “we did what needed to be done” like a whole 2nd line to send us home. 😂💃🏾 The work was powerful, the connections were real, and the celebration? Baby, we earned this one. 🌹 #ROSEandROBE #ROSESummit #NewOrleans #SecondLine #BlackJoy

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Brother Route. 🕊️💜 Today, we celebrate you, not just for the work you did, but for the person you were. Your heart, your humor, your passion for fathers and families, and the way you showed up for our community will always be remembered. We miss your presence, your voice, and the energy you brought into every room. While we wish you were here to celebrate another birthday with us, we find comfort in knowing that the work you poured into others continues to live on. We love you. We miss you. And we’ll keep carrying your legacy forward. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Brother Route. 💜 #ROSE #BrotherRoute #ForeverInOurHearts #LegacyLivesOn #BlackFatherhood

The ROSE portion of the ROSE & ROBE Summit is officially underway, and the energy is already giving “you had to be in the room.” 👀 Today is about connection, learning, bold conversations, and the collective work of advancing breastfeeding equity, birth justice, and better outcomes for Black and Brown families.
