It’s been a joy and a privilege these past few months to travel and participate in readings, book presentations, and conversations related to Have Milk, Will Travel. When I first thought of the project, I envisioned mothers from all walks of life supporting each other by sharing the good, the bad, and the ugly about breastfeeding – and that is exactly what has happened at each and every event. It is powerful to witness mothers teaching each other, even when (especially when!) they didn’t know they had anything to teach. And seeing young moms come to events and admit that they have no support in their life for their breastfeeding struggles, then leave with phone numbers and new friends for playdates and support? Well, it warms a person’s heart, to say the least. Here are a few photos that represent our recent events in Chicago, San Francisco, Ontario, and more.
