Chair, North Carolina Breastfeeding Coalition
Support and Advocacy for Feeding in Emergencies Team
Durham, North Carolina, United States
Love Anderson is the co-founder of Breastfeeding Family Friendly Communities (BFFC), which provides technical assistance to 24 community-led projects across the United States, including Breastfeed Durham, the North Carolina Breastfeeding Coalition (NCBC), and the SAFE Team (Support and Advocacy for Feeding Emergencies). In her leadership roles, Love advances policy development, digital strategy, and collaborative advocacy to build family-friendly communities that center maternal 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. Professionally, Love has a diverse background in system analytics and education. 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 ameliorate inequities, she works to promote support systems for human milk feeding families and advocates for policies that protect family rights, ensuring every family can meet their personal feeding goals.
