To ignite a movement towards better health for Black Americans through transformative health literacy programming
A world where Black Americans achieve optimal health through elevated health literacy
Health disparities have long impacted Black communities, resulting in a significant gap in health outcomes.
58% of Black Americans have basic or below basic health literacy which directly impacts health outcomes.
We believe better health starts with better access to information, community, movement, and opportunity.
