Celebrating Black Breastfeeding Awareness Week in Japan

Today we bring Black Breastfeeding Awareness week to a close. Thank you so much to Ritarsha Farqan and her amazing collection of black mothers who bonded over their stories of some hardships and benefits they experienced breastfeeding (and currently breastfeeding) their children.

While in Japan photography has taken me on many journeys these few years. Some journeys are fun and full of laughter others can be hard and difficult to watch. Seeing 8 mothers laugh, cry and smile with each other, it was an honor to capture each new bond formed.
