By Ariane La'nea Randolph

In this insightful new discussion of motherhood, family bonding, and the Black community, Ariane La'Nea Randolph shows how one simple parenting choice can have a profound effect on your child, family, and neighborhood.

Through her work with the public health department and her own experiences as a wife and mother of five breastfed children, Randolph began understanding the importance of Black families lengthening the amount of time they breastfeed their children. She advocates for at least three years of breastfeeding, which can lead to surprising consequences for the Black community.
