Summit Description
For nearly a decade, my work has revolved around a simple, yet revolutionary mantra, "Whatever the question, the answer is in the community." After years of focusing solely on science and "evidence-based" research, it's time to transform our relationship with the community. Instead of viewing the community as a place to fix and change, we need to view the community as a powerful partner where we can learn ideas and solutions to improve breastfeeding outcomes and reduce racial disparities. But how? In this online event, Kimberly Seals Allers delivers two powerful presentations, you will experience a talk-show style discussion with Simran Noor, senior fellow of the newly united, Center for Social Inclusion Race Forward, and you will watch videos of community members in the Detroit pilot project of the First Food Friendly Community Initiative.

Presentation 1:
From One to All: Moving From An Individual Model to a Collective Model in Breastfeeding Support
Breastfeeding support has, by and large, been about supporting one mother at a time—in her hospital bed, at her home, in the workplace, etc. These strategies have had some success, but the U.S. still lags behind in breastfeeding initiation and duration rates.
