Juechee Yang joined the milk bank spring of 2022. She supports the milk bank’s mission and is always “bringing it back to the babies.” Having breastfed her children, she understands the many challenges, stigmas, and cultural differences there can be for mothers who nurse and continue to nurse. She looks forward to highlighting the mamas who can donate their glorious milk. “Breastfeeding reminds us of the universal truth of abundance: the more we give out, the more we are filled up, and that divine nourishment – the source from which we all draw – is, like a mother’s breast, ever full and ever flowing.” – Sarah Buckley
