Black women deserve to be heard, seen, and cared for—in mind, body, and spirit. Yet, too often, their health concerns are dismissed, their experiences are ignored, and their pain is minimized. The disparities Black women face in healthcare are stark, ranging from limited access to culturally responsive mental health services to alarming rates of maternal health complications. But these disparities don’t have to define the future.
The goal of the Talk It Out, Walk It Out fundraiser is to raise the funds needed to expand access to culturally affirming wellness and mental health resources for Black women. Your donation will help:
- Provide Free Health Education Workshops
- Create a Safe and Supportive Community Space
- Sustain Year-Round Support and Programs
- Kick Off Black Women’s Health Month
By donating, you’re investing in a healthier, more affirming future for Black women everywhere.
Why We Need Your Help
The disparities Black women face are real, urgent, and unacceptable. Did you know:
- Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications compared to white women.
- They are more likely to report high levels of workplace stress, anxiety, and emotional distress—but are less likely to seek therapy due to stigma and financial barriers.
- Conditions like fibroids affect Black women at significantly higher rates, often with untreated symptoms that reduce quality of life.
These numbers tell a devastating story of inequity, but they aren’t the full story. Because behind the statistics are mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends who are striving for wellness.
Thank you for walking alongside us in this mission. Together, we can create a legacy of Black women being heard, cared for, and empowered to live their healthiest lives.
