Chair of Black Maternal Health

My name is Andora Pyatt, I am a doula and chair of Black Maternal Health with Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities of Durham(BFFC).  Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities of Durham is a health equity advocacy group.  Our mission is to provide breastfeeding education and resources to families in the Durham community, as well as advocate for policies that protect nursing families’ rights. Our goal is to continue to support families in our community during this unprecedented and stressful time and support organizations such as yours that are working with families of color to aid in minimizing the financial barriers to provide educational resources and services to them. Our goal is to support Black Maternal Health within our communities. We would like to provide funding for small nonprofit organizations that promote breastfeeding in their communities of colorIt is our hope that every family in Durham understands the benefits of breastfeeding, and then makes educated and informed decisions that are right for each family. We want to listen, learn, and collaborate.

Would you like to share your organization’s information?

With your help, Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities of Durham and your organization can make changes to support black Maternal health in Durham and surrounding counties.  In our efforts to keep you informed of resources and funding opportunities to support Black Maternal Health we have provided a link to a Birth Worker Relief application.
