Build your own!
Welcome. We’re a Health and Wellness Support Community built by and for Black women who are determined to thrive. We leverage science and lifestyle to troubleshoot health risks and reverse diseases like type 2 diabetes.

With national COVID-19 surges and the onset of flu season, it’s more important than ever to learn how to protect yourself. As your only host defense, your immune system is incredibly important. Its cells, antibodies and protein signals (cytokines) are our best shot at preventing viral infections and limiting complications if we are infected. It turns out that vitamin D is one of the chemicals our immune system needs to strengthen itself. This is an especially important topic for Black Americans because brown skin has a harder time converting the sun into vitamin D.

Sleeping Better
Let’s remember that whatever’s going on around us, we have some say over our sleep quality. That’s because our habits can affect sleep by shifting 2 big sleep chemicals
Too much health independence can be a bad thing! Don’t miss bringing these sleep red flags to your doctor.
Why do I keep waking up at 3 am and can't fall back asleep? Why is it so hard to get out of bed? Why am i so tired in the morning? We use the PSQI answer these questions and more to help you get peaceful sleep.
