Black women in America have a 3x higher chance of dying in childbirth than white women - regardless of socio-economic status. A myriad of systemic and societal issues have led to this crisis and advocating for Black women’s maternal health is more important than ever.
For many chronic conditions including breast cancer, heart disease and diabetes, Black women have a higher mortality rate, later diagnosis and less access to care. Helping them advocate for their own health and the health of their community is crucial to address this crisis.
Black women are half as likely to seek mental health help than white women. They are also more likely to neglect caring for themselves so they can care for others. This pillar also speaks to multigenerational audiences, with a core topic area focused on peri/ menopause and addressing the fact that Black women begin menopause earlier with more severe symptoms than white women.
Black families are tight knit units. Matriarchs are typically the first point of care prior to a doctor's visit, so supporting them is key to supporting communities. Providing Black women with ways to empower their loved ones to advocate for each other's health, will also help them better advocate for her when she needs them most. Whether it's managing the cost of healthcare, caring for aging parents or building their family's legacy, it truly takes a village.
