Bria: What if breastfeeding wasn’t just about nourishment, but about connection, resilience, and even defiance?

Today, I’m joined by Bria—a mother of two, living in Grenada in the West Indies—who has embraced breastfeeding as more than just feeding. From her first-ever public feed on the London Underground to nursing a four-year-old despite outside opinions, Bria has navigated her journey with strength and conviction.

She shares how witnessing women breastfeed before becoming a mother shaped her own openness, the pain and power of feeding through a medicalised birth, and the raw beauty of her second experience—free-birthing in an AirBnB just an hour before checkout, and feeling the deep, invisible connection between her newborn and her body.

Breastfeeding, for Bria, is a message to the world: I am these children’s mother—do not question me.
