The New York Lactation Consultant Association Equity and Diversity Scholarship was created to open doors for BIPOC aspiring IBCLCs and help build a lactation workforce that truly reflects and uplifts our communities. We believe every family deserves high-quality, culturally responsive lactation care—and that representation matters in every feeding journey.

This scholarship supports that mission by covering the initial IBCLC exam fee for eligible candidates.
Applications are now opened to New York residence. Good luck. 🍀

At NYLCA, we uplift and support both current and future IBCLCs who enrich lactation care with diverse and meaningful voices. This week, we’re honored to spotlight one of our IBCLC students and share her heartfelt journey

“My passion for lactation has always been a part of me as a doctor, but it truly blossomed when I had my daughter. Experiencing the beauty and challenges of breastfeeding firsthand inspired me to become a Lactation Consultant, so I can walk alongside other moms and families on this journey.”
Representation matters. Support matters. Together, we’re building a more inclusive future in lactation care.”

Founder of City Lactation, Annie became an IBCLC in 2011 and earned her Perinatal Mental Health Certification in 2023. Her journey began after her first child’s birth in 2007, inspiring her to volunteer with La Leche League and eventually lead meetings in Queens from 2009–2016.

In 2019, she launched City Lactation to build a collaborative practice. Annie also co-hosts the Lactation Business Coaching podcast and creates tools, trainings, and CE for private practice IBCLCs.

A nationally recognized speaker and expert in HIPAA, tech in healthcare, and lactation business, Annie received USLCA’s President’s Award in 2018. She’s also a proud NYLCA member, screenwriter, and mom of two teens (plus cats Frank & Roxie!).
