Please share!!! I attend Trinidad and Tobago’s Carnival annually. It’s a time of year full of fun, confidence, and parading my sexiness! It’s amazing!! This year I attended for the first time as a mom. As a nutrition consultant, my Carnival crew is aware of how much I talk about nutrition and advocate for breastfeeding. In preparation to “play mas”, I knew I would at some point need to pump, but we are “on de road” meaning there was no place to plug in a pump and no private places to pump. A member of my crew (an OBGYN) packed a manual breast pump for me which another member of our crew threw in his back pack so I could access when needed. When we had our lunch stop, I really needed to pump. Instead of suggesting I go into a bathroom stall( which I never would have agreed to), or take a long walk to find a private location to pump ( possibly behind a tree) , my @lptslifestyle crew literally surrounded me and allowed me adjust myself in order to pump. They gave me so much support and love!! So there I was in the middle of thousands of people pumping...and no one batted an eye, this is how it should be. Our photographers started to take pics with their phones. I thought of all of the debates about decency and public breastfeeding that is all over social media and figured what an amazing statement to make. I asked @TeamDWP to take professional shots. The photo made me feel confident, sexy...and nourishing all at once. It didn’t have to be one or the other. I’m so proud of my photo, that experience and the statement! Normalize it!
