The summit is supported by W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Maternal Health Learning and Innovation Center (MHLIC), and Health Equity Action for Lactation Initiative (HEAL).

Dr. Kimarie Bugg, CEO and Co-Founder of ROSE explained, “We are looking forward to a future where being a Black breastfeeding mother and being a Black, involved father is not seen as some phenomenon. We are here just like anyone else raising our families, driving positive impact in our communities, and striving to make this world a better place for our babies.”
The summit aims to be one of the driving forces that help contribute to the improvement in breastfeeding rates in Black communities through education and implementation. Presentations will center on equity in breastfeeding, maternal health, fathers and partners, and infant health initiatives.
Individuals and organizations interested in attending the summit are encouraged to purchase tickets through the event page at EventBrite.com. In-person and virtual attendance options are available. In-person attendees can expect a daily schedule that includes breaks for networking and visiting vendor tables and breakfast and lunch meals are included with the registration for each day of the summit.
