HABARI GANI!!

Family, we start our Kwanzaa celebrations today♥️🖤💚. Yes, our team is still in an external break, but we had to come on and love on our beautifully melanated community and family. Folks and businesses in community are having celebrations all week that bring us together, celebrate culture, and hold space for our joy.

Each day of Kwanzaa focuses on one of the Nguzo Saba (Seven Principles) and we incorporate those principles in our work beyond this holiday time:
• Umoja (Unity)
• Kujichagulia (Self-Determination)
• Ujima (Collective Work & Responsibility)
• Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics)
• Nia (Purpose)
• Kuumba (Creativity)
• Imani (Faith)

We take this time to celebrate us and our culture! We love us and we’re rooting for everybody Black!!

Heri za Kwanzaa!!💜

This year has been dope yall!

We’ve had the honor of supporting Black families through pregnancy, postpartum, lactation, and beyond…while also building meaningful relationships with community partners who share our commitment to health equity and holistic care.

As we close out the year, BLKBRY will be on an external closure so our team can do a lil reflecting, get a lot of rest, and strategize for 2026. We’ll be back soon and ready to continue this work together.

Happy Holidays,
BLKBRY Team 💜

Dr. Nikia Grayson, nurse midwife, family nurse practitioner, and anthropologist, joins us to share how she’s helping reclaim and restore Black midwifery in the South. As Chief Clinical Officer at CHOICES Center for Reproductive Health () in Memphis, TN, Dr. Grayson has led groundbreaking efforts to open Memphis’ first and only birth center, launch the nation’s first Black Midwifery Fellowship, and provide full-spectrum, justice-centered reproductive care. In this episode, Dr. Grayson reflects on the challenges of dismantling systemic racism in health care, the impact of the Dobbs decision on abortion access in the South, and the importance of investing in doulas, midwives, and community-based care. Dr. Grayson also offers advice for birth workers on building new systems rooted in justice, joy, and liberation.

!!BREAKING NEWS!!

The House recently passed the Bottles and Breastfeeding Equipment Screening (BABES) Enhancement Act on November 17, which is going to streamline TSA screening for breast/human milk and baby-related products to make flying easier for parents.

On Congressman Eric Swalwell (D-CA) site, it states, "the legislation requires the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to strengthen and streamline its screening protocols for breast milk, formula, and related feeding equipment. These improvements will ensure parents can navigate airport security without unnecessary delays, confusion, or the risk of damaging essential nutrition products."

And y'all know we gotta do an unapologetic shameless plug. This legislation is a great reason to join The Milk + Molasses™ Lactation Lounges with Tiffani Dickerson, IBCLC of The Breast Choice Lactation on T***y Tuesdays. We have our partner lounge this evening at 6pm PST / 8pm CST tonight!

Link is in the bio and hope to see y'all there!!
