It’s National Breastfeeding Month, and today we’ve got a fun piece from Samm D. about how she’s struggled with plenty of things over the course of her life — but nursing became her superpower.
She writes: “For me, breastfeeding was pretty uncomplicated. This is not meant to be a brag, as I have found myself to be an incapable hot mess in other areas of my life. But here, I shined. And my tiny tatas — the ones I cursed for so long as they sat flat on my chest while the other girls flaunted their curves and cleavage — became my most worthy asset. Normally self-conscious about my body, I became fearless.”
It’s a nice piece about how sometimes, you find your strengths where you least expect them.
