When did you know you wanted to become an IBCLC?

I worked at a pediatrician’s office as a nurse caring for newborns at the same time that I had my daughter. I knew I wanted to become an IBCLC to provide my patients with the same quality of lactation support that I had received.

Why did you become an IBCLC?

I became an IBCLC to help all families reach their breastfeeding goals and because representation is so important! When I had breastfeeding difficulties, I longed to be able to connect with other women who looked like me and could relate to my struggles. My desire is for Black breastfeeding educators to be more accessible.

What do you wish you could tell every parent (that they would actually do) and why?

Ask for help early & as frequently as needed! In all areas— lactation support, baby care, housework, etc.. We are not meant to do any of this alone!
