THE COMMUNITY LEGACY PROJECT

Tell Your Story • Build Our Legacy • Make Your Story Square

Register to receive a FREE Community Legacy Organizer Kit

Community organizations hosting a BBW event or Irth’s National Milk Crawl are invited to join the Community Legacy Project. Register to receive a FREE Community Legacy Organizer Kit with everything participants need to create their own BBW Story Squares.

Families share memories, stories, photos, messages, and keepsakes celebrating their breastfeeding journeys and the people who supported them. Together, these Story Squares become a national community art installation unveiled at BBW’s 15th Anniversary Celebration in 2027.

LACTATION SCHOLARSHIP

Black mothers deserve lactation support from someone who looks like them and understands what they’re carrying. This scholarship puts $500 toward your lactation certification training, part of Black Breastfeeding Week’s work building a stronger pipeline of Black lactation consultants across the Country.

Six scholarships will be awarded this cycle. Applications are due August 15, 2026, 11:59pm.
