Black Women for Wellness is committed to healing, educating, inspiring, and supporting Black women, so we may tap our personal power to enhance and improve our health and well being.
Black Women for Wellness defines good health as more than mere absence of disease, but the ability to grow, to soar, to use our strength, our power as women, our beauty, our intelligence uninhibited to the fullest extent for the pursuit of healthy lives, families and communities.
Black Women for Wellness believes in preventing illness through education, self-empowerment, access, appropriate treatments and interventions, blending solutions that work for us, no matter our lifestyles, financial or educational status.
Black Women for Wellness defines good health as physical, spiritual, emotional, mental, and financial well-being. We also believe good health requires a blending of western medicine with traditional and natural healers to create a balanced life.
This June 12, 2009, participants will be invited to Bring a Brother to Breakfast, as BWW clearly understands that the health and well being of Black women is closely interconnected with the lives of Black men. Examining the pattern of sexuality transmitted disease and increasing HIV/AIDS rates in our community gives us a strong clue to our interconnectivity. BWW will invite panel members offering resources addressing the challenges of sexually transmitted infection/disease from a holistic approach.  Learn more here.

More than 350 women and a contingent of supportive men came to engage with each other and start a new national pipeline of multicultural women leaders in business, politics, and media. From ten-year-old bloggers from an all-girls middle school in Oakland to 80-year-old activists as well as stay-at-home moms and college students, women came from across the country to join in the first Engage Her Multicultural Women's Leadership Conference April 25-26, 2009 on the campus of the University of California, Berkeley campus. Black Women for Wellness attended this event.
