FUTURE IBCLCs of COLOR
Are you interested in becoming an IBCLC? Then join us in our Facebook community the Future IBCLCs of Color Less than 1 percent of lactation consultants in the US are BIPOC. In order to effectively increase the breastfeeding rates of Black, Indigenous and women of color in the US., we must train and employ more IBCLCs of color in healthcare. We are an initiative transforming communities by empowering breastfeeding mothers and women of color aspiring to become certified lactation consultants and IBCLC’s. IBCLC’s of color are needed to mitigate low breastfeeding disparities with black and brown families. This group will discuss the pathways offered, courses required, provide volunteering resources, tips, study sessions and more. We encourage you to connect with other aspiring/present IBCLC group members to garner the support needed during your journey.
