Creating a Culture of Belonging in WIC – A Vision for Maternal and Infant Health

Stacy Davis, MPH, IBCLC, reflects on her experiences at the Walmart Racial Equity Convening and UBBLS Conference, emphasizing the importance of creating a culture of belonging within the WIC program. Drawing on John A. Powell's framework of "Belonging Without Othering," she advocates for a shift from merely ensuring access to fostering environments where all participants feel essential and valued. Davis calls for a future where the WIC program serves as a model of belonging, addressing disparities while building strong, connected communities for mothers and infants.
