Chocolate Milk & Cookies: A Black Breastfeeding Week Celebration

August 22 @ 11:00 am

Chocolate Milk & Cookies is more than a FREE event. It is a movement grounded in love, legacy, and liberation. Created in honor of Black Breastfeeding Week, this joyful celebration uplifts the beauty, strength, and resilience of Black breastfeeding families.

This is a space where Black parents can feel seen, heard, supported, and celebrated. Families will gather in community, enjoy meaningful conversations, access important resources, receive baby supplies, and take part in raffles, giveaways, and a day filled with joy.

It is a beautiful opportunity to come together in a space made for us, by us.

Chocolate Milk & Cookies is a family-friendly in-person event on breastfeeding and infant feeding—support, resources, vendors, and community

Chocolate Milk & Cookies (CMC) is NBDA®’s signature, family-friendly in-person Mix & Mingle designed as a larger, community-centered gathering focused on lactation, breastfeeding, and infant feeding in Black communities.

CMC is intentionally built as an accessible space where parents, babies, doulas, and community partners can come together to learn, connect, and feel supported—without pressure or judgment. This experience goes beyond a small discussion circle and may include multiple elements such as short educational segments, vendor tables, resource stations, and child-friendly activities, all designed to meet families where they are.

CMC is hosted as two separate in-person events in two different locations each August, creating space for broader community reach and local connection.

What to Expect

  • A welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere
  • A one-hour core program focused on breastfeeding and infant feeding support
  • Community resources and partner connections
  • Optional vendor and resource tables (where available)
  • Space for parents, babies, and families to feel seen and supported

Member Benefit
CMC is free for NBDA® members and may include paid vendor opportunities.

Come for the support. Stay for the community. Leave with resources you can use.

When: Saturday, August 22 • 11 AM – 3 PM
