I’m still trying to process this incredibly cool thing that happened to me last week.
A great human and friend, @dr.angelicageter, nominated me, and my fantastic team at @blkwomenshealth threw a surprise party to celebrate that an amazing company, @thrivecausemetics, has honored me by naming a lipstick after me in their brand new Impact-FULL Smoothing Lipstick collection. 🥰💄
I could not be more grateful to everyone at Thrive and BWHI; it’s been such a pleasure bringing together these two organizations that work so hard on behalf of women over the last three years.
And you can buy the “Kris” lipstick, a neutral cocoa shade, on their website in my bio.
We did a thing! Last Friday, we marked a momentous occasion as we celebrated 40 incredible years of impact. But that’s not all – the @cityofatlantaga officially proclaimed September 22nd as “Black Women’s Health Imperative Day”! ✨
This recognition fills us with deep humility and immense honor. For four decades, we’ve dedicated ourselves to serving Black women and girls, and as we reflect on our journey, we’re filled with gratitude for the progress we’ve made. 💜
Our heartfelt thanks go out to @spelman_college and everyone who joined us to reaffirm our mission. We extend our immense gratitude to our exceptional team for orchestrating such inspiring events; it felt like the warm embrace that we all needed.
To the vibrant city of Atlanta – THANK YOU!
We’re already looking forward to the next chapter as we head to DC on 10/13 and LA on 10/22. Join us: 40thhomecoming.bwhi.org - link in bio.

Have you watched #TheOtherBlackGirl yet? Talk to us in the comments. 🍿👀
In case you’re late to the party, Hulu’s new series ‘The Other Black Girl’ aims to meet the call for Black work-life stories in the media. It’s a chilling drama that many critics and viewers compare to Jordan Peele’s acclaimed film “Get Out,” which inspired a new era of horror films rooted in Black trauma. Our work experiences being portrayed in the “horror” genre seems far too fitting. SWIPE for the trailer and read more via link in bio.
Antiracism in the workplace is a cause close to our hearts through our #FairWorkInitiative. When organizations prioritize the well-being of Black women, everyone benefits! Sign up for our newsletter to receive updates on this intiative at FairWork.BWHI.org. Link in bio.
