Raising Awareness
As a first-time mother, Tori felt a mixture of emotions during her own breastfeeding experiences. Thus, the issue became quite personal and close to her own heart. She explained, “I still feel awkward in public when I feed my baby. Why should I?” Many women try speaking out but get ignored or silenced when talking about it. Thus, Tori received wide spread praise for using her platform to speak out, especially on behalf of those women who had been ignored.

Persistence
Tori shared much of her experience. She explained her struggles early on, but how she continued to work at it until things fell into place. She said, “I’m providing for my child. [Jackson] and I have come a long way and we work well together now and I’m proud of that.” Some women turn to formula or professional help when experiencing difficulties with breastfeeding.
