Enmarket Encourage Health Live Series Explores Breaking Breastfeeding Barriers On April 1 Livestream

SAVANNAH, Ga. - Feb. 22, 2021 - PRLog -- This third broadcast of the 2020-21 series will live-stream at 1:00 p.m. on Healthy Savannah's Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/healthysav/) and also will be streamed on Enmarket's Facebook page. The program will be rebroadcast at a later date on the City of Savannah's Government Channel and on SavannahNow.com/podcasts.

The program will feature Nandi A. Marshall, DrPH, MPH, CHES, associate professor and interim associate dean of Academic Affairs with Georgia Southern University, Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health; who will speak on "Breaking the Breastfeeding Barriers." This topic highlights the health benefits for breastfed infants and breastfeeding mothers, the racial disparity that exists for many of those mothers and children, and how businesses can help eliminate those barriers.

Marshall recently published a photo book, "Savannah H.O.P.E. Photovoice Project," documenting personal experiences from local African-American mothers, with the objective to tell a story using a combination of photography and storytelling to amplify the participants' voices by their experiences through their own lens.

While all of the broadcasts are free and available to the public, organizers are requesting that audience members virtually RSVP at www.healthysavannah.org/encouragehealthlive.

The 7th Annual Enmarket Encourage Health Education Series is presented in partnership with Healthy Savannah; media sponsor, the Savannah Morning News; and community partners, City of Savannah and Gulfstream.
