Mastitis can feel overwhelming—pain, fever, and exhaustion on top of postpartum recovery. But it’s treatable with the right care, early support, and gentle reminders that you are not alone. Black women especially deserve providers who listen, believe, and act with urgency.

✨ Rest, hydrate, seek help early, and know that breastfeeding challenges are never a personal failure. ✨

August 28 is an important date in Black history. For example, on August 28, 1945, just after finishing his year as a basketball coach at Huston-Tillotson University here in Austin, TX, Jackie Robinson met with Major League Baseball President, Branch Rickey, to confirm he would break the color barrier in the Majors.

Give 8/28 celebrates these powerful links between our shared history and the change we’re making now—because history isn’t just in the past; we’re shaping it together in community.

Every little bit counts! Support Black Mamas ATX's Give 8/28 campaign today: https://www.give828.org/organization/Black-Mamas-Community-Collective
