AABN was founded by Angelia Wilks-Tate (right) and Dalvery Blackwell set their eyes on addressing breastfeeding disparities and came together on a sunny June afternoon with a host of community leaders to discuss forming an organization.  At the time Dalvery was a breastfeeding peer in Milwaukee County WIC program, and Angie was the MLK Heritage Health Center WIC Project, Director. The two together with supporters and advocates set-out on creating a community-led organization which has become known now as the African American Breastfeeding Network Inc.   Dalvery serves as the agency's first Executive Director; Angie continues to be involved in supporting AABN mission.
