Call for Art and Poetry to Celebrate Black Breastfeeding Week

To honor and celebrate the resilience and beauty of Black Breastfeeding, UCSF created the Black Breastfeeding Week Art and Poetry Contest.

We encourage you to attend our previously recorded Grand Rounds featuring Dr. Michal Young that explores the African American history and tradition of Breast/Chestfeeding as you rest and meditate on your submission. To view click: ucsf.box.com/s/ci61et2bwpbzkwkfcoom400ybbgj3w8x

A high-resolution photo or scan of art and/or email of the original poem are due by August 1, 2021, to Carol.Thomason [at] gmail.com. Submissions should include your name and phone number. All ages are welcome to enter.

A community celebration of your art and poetry, and city resources, will take place in-person, outdoors, at UCSF on Tuesday, August 31 from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
