SUMMARY:First Foods Justice: Breastfeeding Certification Program for Doulas
DESCRIPTION:FIRST FOODS JUSTICE BREASTFEEDING CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR DOULAS\nNourishing Our Babies to Nurture Ourselves \nThe course is intended to support individuals of marginalized identities as they uplift and serve their communities in nurturing themselves as they nourish their babies. \nThe Mama Glow Foundation is a 501c3 non profit committed to advancing reproductive justice and birth equity through education\, advocacy\, the arts\, research and scholarship. \nWe are thrilled to announce the return of the Mama Glow Foundation FIRST FOODS JUSTICE: BREASTFEEDING CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR DOULAS – Nourishing Our Babies to Nurture Ourselves  \nThe design of this course centers the safety and support of Black and Brown mothers\, birthing people\, and families as they navigate the unique challenges and joys of breastfeeding/chestfeeding. \nThis 12-hour course examines breastfeeding through the lens of first food justice—the principle that all infants have the right to optimal nutrition\, and all caregivers the right to provide it. Centering this framework requires both honoring the joy and cultural significance of breastfeeding for Black mothers and mothers of color\, and confronting the structural inequities that shape their experiences. Although human milk is the gold standard for infant nutrition\, Black birthing people and families face persistent\, systemic barriers to breastfeeding—barriers rooted in and perpetuated by the enduring legacy of chattel slavery in the United States. \nCompared to their white counterparts\, Black mothers and birthing people are less likely to initiate breastfeeding and\, when they do\, are less likely to sustain it for durations sufficient to confer optimal infant health benefits. This course situates these disparities within a broader framework of restorative justice and collective healing\, while critically examining the targeted marketing practices of infant formula companies toward minoritized communities. \nDesigned to address persistent inequities in lactation support\, the course provides professional lactation education to birth workers from communities disproportionately impacted by adverse health outcomes\, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to serve within their own community contexts. Grounded in a sustained commitment to community-based care and workforce development\, the program invests in the Mama Glow network of care workers and seeks to foster both professional validation and pathways toward healing. \nUpon successful completion of the course and examination\, students receive a certificate recognizing their status as First Foods Justice Advocates on the pathway to certification. Fulfillment of all course requirements\, including designated community hours\, culminates in the award of the Certified Community Lactation Educator credential. \nThis course meets the Mama Glow Doula Certification requirment. \nThis course is a pathway to professional development opportunities with Mama Glow. \nCOURSE PREREQUISITES:\n\nApplicant must be a trained doula\nApplicant must currently serve marginalized communities\nApplicant must be able to attend all course sessions online\n\nSUMMER 2026 COURSE DATES:\nThe course meets twice a week for 3 weeks for a total of 6 zoom sessions. Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:00-8:00pm ET \n\nWeek 1 – June 9th\, 11th\nWeek 2 – June 16th\, 18th\nWeek 3 – June 23rd\, 25th\n\nINVESTMENT: $425.00 + Processing Fees \nThe FIRST FOODS JUSTICE: BREASTFEEDING CERTIFICATION PROGRAM FOR DOULAS is an educational and professional development initiative of the Mama Glow Foundation. Enrollment requires a $425.00 fee prior to onboarding\, which covers tuition\, administrative support\, access to the student dashboard\, mentorship\, and certification processing. This course is made affordable through subsidy from the Mama Glow Foundation. \nProgram costs are subsidized by the Mama Glow Foundation to promote accessibility; no additional scholarships are available. \nNo refunds will be issued.

Trainees have an orientation the week prior to class starting and a private group within our online membership platform. \nThis program is open to all regardless of previous experience.\nOur work at Mama Glow is to improve the experience of birth for people everywhere. We are changing the face of maternal health by empowering birthing people at the threshold of change in their lives. We see birth as a unique opportunity to support and empower all people as well as educate society about the innate strength of the body and the sacred process of pregnancy and birth. We offer full spectrum doula support. Our doulas support clients during fertility\, birth clients and new parents\, holding their hands as they transition into this new phase of their lives. We seek to dismantle the stigmas and fears around the birth process for birthing folks. We also work to democratize birth support and have birth doulas available for every person or family that desires one. \nAs birth activism is central to the pulse of our mission and training\, we weave the thread of advocacy with our distinguished\, world-renown and award-winning guest teachers. The course includes preparation and education for birth doula support. This is a CERTIFICATE PROGRAM desgined to advance birthworkers professionally. \nReceive a supreme education with Mama Glow\nThe Mama Glow Professional Doula Training Program has been offered as a course in Gender and Sexuality Studies at Brown University where Mama Glow founder Latham Thomas was appointed Visiting Professor of the Practice of Gender and Sexuality Studies in the Pembroke Center for Teaching and Learning on Women. \nWhat makes Mama Glow unique? \nAside from our world class and one-of-a-kind program content and teaching methodology\, the Mama Glow Doula Professional Training Program includes ongoing Professional and Work-force Development\, which means we hold your hand as you take your certification journey and launch your business or advance your career.

All this work will begin after your in-class training period. After completion of LEVEL 1 you will be eligible to take the LEVEL 2 program which focuses on Complicated Birth and Postpartum Doula Support. \nLEVEL 1 will prepare newly minted doulas to begin working in all settings\, including in traditionally underserved and under-estimated communities.
