About Me
VANESSA A SIMMONS
As a 39-year-old first-generation Ghanaian-American woman, wife of 15 years, and a work-from-homeschool mother of three children, life has always been pretty interesting and I plan to keep it that way. I like watching the sunset, snuggling during movies, walking our ultra-girly pitbull, and practicing jiu-jitsu with my husband and our children. Most of all, I love cooking delicious meals for our sometimes-vegan family and a good belly laugh. :)



Founder
VANESSA A SIMMONS
NORMALIZE BREASTFEEDING®
In 2014, Ghanaian-American mother and photographer, Vanessa Simmons, authored the Normalize Breastfeeding® movement to address the taboo of public breastfeeding in modern society. Her mission was to document diverse variations of normal infant feeding, across cultures and delivery methods of human milk.
Through Simmons' viral blog, her photographic speaking tour, philanthropy, and artistic inspiration; she mobilized and motivated thousands of women to share their breastfeeding photos on social media. After a very successful first year, she reached out to the Mayor of San Diego to proclaim June 27th the International Day to Normalize Breastfeeding, in support of the worldwide anniversary event!
