Why Breastfeeding Disparities Are Putting Black Newborns at Risk—and How We Fix It


Listen Later

🎧 Only 73% of Black newborns are ever breastfed — but why? And what’s standing in the way of support that all parents deserve?

In this powerful episode of BACKtalk with host Janice Robinson-Celeste, we sit down with expert lactation consultant Dr. Clifton Kenon Jr., IBCLC, DNP, RN to uncover the root causes of breastfeeding disparities in the Black community. From systemic barriers to cultural stigma and lack of access, we explore what’s really going on — and how to change it.

💡 Breastfeeding equity means making sure every parent, regardless of race, income, or location, has equal access to support, education, and care. It’s about giving every baby the healthiest start possible — and it’s long overdue.

Whether you’re a parent, advocate, or simply care about health justice, this conversation will open your eyes and fire you up for change.
