A temporary victory for women in Georgia! 🙌🏾
A judge in Fulton County struck down Georgia's six-week abortion ban, bringing back the right to choose up to 22 weeks of pregnancy. This is huge for our sisters who’ve been fighting for their rights. We deserve to make our own choices about our bodies. The fight continues, but today, we celebrate this victory! ✊🏾💪🏾 #ReproductiveJustice #BlackWomenLead #OurBodiesOurChoice#BWHI #Blkwomenshealth #TheImperative

Black women with PCOS, we see you and we stand with you! 💜 Sasha Ottey, founder of PCOS Challenge, shared her powerful story of living with PCOS, navigating the symptoms, and advocating for her health.

Let’s continue pushing for education, awareness, and support. #Blkwomenshealth #BWHI #PCOSAwareness #BWHI #TheImperative

🍎SEPTEMBER seasonal produce! Fall vibes are creeping in and summer is on its way out! September is here, and with it comes some of the best produce of the year. Ya’ll remember those back-to-school days with fresh apples in your lunchbox? 🍎 Well, now it’s time to relive the magic but with a GROWN tastebud twist, get into some butternut squash and pears!
Eating in season isn’t just tasty—it’s SO good for your body and your gut! So why not take full advantage of all this yummy, fresh produce while we still can? 👏🏾
Lifestyle programs aren’t one size fits all! It’s all about finding something that works for YOU and that you can maintain for a lifetime. For 41 years, BWHI has been creating the tools, spaces, and support Black women need to find their way to better health. We’ve been on this journey together, lifting each other up and making sure we have what we need to thrive.
