History in the Making: With Lisa Blunt Rochester from Delaware and Angela Alsobrooks from Maryland projected to win their U.S. Senate races, we stand on the verge of an unprecedented moment: the possibility of two Black women serving in the Senate together for the first time.
This milestone is about more than politics; it’s about representation that embodies the diversity, resilience, and strength of our communities.

Shirley Chisholm blazed trails not just in politics, but also in the fight for Black women’s health and rights, working to make healthcare accessible and equitable for all. Her legacy reminds us that our voices and actions can spark change that lasts for generations. Thank you, Shirley, for showing us what’s possible. 🖤 #WomensHealth #BlackHerstory #BWHI #BlkWomensHealth #TheImperative

Sis, give yourself some grace today. We’re always doing so much, always holding things together for everyone around us—but sometimes, we need to hold space for ourselves too. Whether it’s a small win or a quiet moment, take it in and let yourself feel proud. Grace is an act of self-love, and you deserve every bit of it. 💜 #SelfCareSunday #BlackGirlGrace #bwhi #blackwomenshealth #theimperative

Did you know that high blood pressure and diabetes often go hand in hand? People with diabetes are more likely to have high blood pressure because both conditions affect your blood vessels, making your heart work harder.
Managing your blood sugar levels with a healthy diet and regular exercise can also help keep your blood pressure in check. Find out if you're at risk for type 2 Diabetes

This isn’t horror fiction; it’s the reality many Black women face when it comes to healthcare access, cost, coverage and support! We all deserve a healthcare system that listens, respects, and cares for us. 🖤💪🏾 #BlackWomensHealth #TrustBlackWomen #CostAndCoverage
Big shoutout to @FAMU_1887 and @4kira4moms for using homecoming as a powerful moment to spotlight Black maternal health! 🙌🏾 They’re making sure we talk about the urgent issues affecting us as Black women, especially around childbirth and health equity.

Keep these conversations going.

As we get closer to election day, let’s remember that protecting our mental health is key. Here are a few ways to stay grounded this week:
💆🏾♀️Set Boundaries on News Consumption: It’s okay to take a break. Limit the time you spend reading news or scrolling through election content, and give yourself permission to step away when it feels overwhelming.
💆🏾♀️Focus on What’s Within Your Control: Voting, sharing information with others, and staying informed are ways to be active. Let go of what you can’t change, and focus on what’s in your power.
💆🏾♀️Create a Calm Space: Surround yourself with positive energy—whether it’s through music, a favorite show, or good company. Give yourself a break from the noise when you need it.
💆🏾♀️Practice Self-Care Daily: Meditation, prayer, exercise, journaling—whatever helps you center. Keeping a self-care routine is essential to staying balanced.
💆🏾♀️Stay Connected: Lean on your community. Talking things out with friends or loved ones can be a major release and reminder that we’re in this together.
💆🏾♀️Keep Things in Perspective: Remember, your health and peace of mind matter too. Take time for joy, hobbies, and moments that make you smile!
Let’s stay strong, stay balanced, and take care of ourselves. #MentalHealthMatters #BlackWomensHealth #BWHI #TheImperative
