Co-Founder of the SAFE Infant Feeding Team
Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities
Durham, North Carolina, United States
Love Anderson is the co-founder of Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities (BFFC), which now supports 21 community-led projects across the United States, including the SAFE Team. In her leadership roles, Love advances policy development, digital strategy, and collaborative advocacy to build family-friendly communities that center perinatal and infant health equity.
Her lived experiences as a parent of two spirited boys and as a Black-Cherokee woman raised in the rural South inform her holistic approach to community health advocacy. Her work in lactation began when she breastfed her two children with special needs, inspiring her to volunteer in lactation support, universal access, and emergency preparedness for infant and young child feeding (IYCF-E).
Believing that breastfeeding-friendly communities can help reduce inequities, Love continues to promote support systems for human milk feeding families and advocate for policies that protect family rights-ensuring every family can meet their personal feeding goals.
