Hi everyone,

I want to pass on info re: a rap video , targeted for inner-city teens entitled
"Breastfeed Ya' Baby" that is in process . This was discussed at a recent Calif
annual WIC conference. Written by  lactation educator, Shanda Lear-Bertelli,
and L.A.  doctor.  Financial support is currently being sought to produce and
distribute, also to show on MTV, Video hits 1 , Black Entertainment Television,
and World African Network. Please contact Margie Chochson at (800) 649-9796 to
submit any ideas for financial support.

There will be two edits done; one for T.V., shorter, with more discrete showing
of BF'ing  ;. a different full-legnth version  for WIC sites and health
providers waiting rooms . They will ask Pop stars to do cameo appearances in
video. Call above number if you have ideas.
