- "Happy Breastfeeding Week! Breastfeeding is one of the most beautiful experience I have ever encountered. It is sacrificial yet rewarding to know I am doing and giving my baby the best! I I have been on this journey now for 10 month with my daughter and the best part for me is the power I've received. Honestly, I didn't think I would last this long because breastfeeding is hard. However, I realize it’s about taking it one day at time. My only goal was to get through the day and I cry every time I think about how long it’s been. I believe breastfeeding has giving me the power to finish anything I put my mind too! All things are possible. I’ve had good, bad, frustrating and tired days but it is the power that works in me to keep going and push forward. My daughter struggled earlier on with gaining weight and the doctors wanted me to supplement but I wouldn’t because I believed in the power of my body and what it could do. I even experience a supply dip but I kept going and overcame that obstacles as well. I count every moment as pure joy and I am proud to be a black breastfeeding mama!!"
