Description

Black Women's Health is a platform for dissecting and discussing health issues and health news germane to Black Women. We define health as more than the absence of disease. We embrace a definition of health that includes not only physical but emotional, mental, economic and social wellbeing. Until it is no longer, we are committed to eliminating racial health disparities. We celebrate Black women.
