Hello BWNJOY,
We are excited to invite both recent and long-standing members of BWNJOY to join us for this Friday’s meeting (zoom link at end of email) as we celebrate our journey and discuss the next steps for our community.
We are proposing a refocus of BWNJOY to ensure we can effectively continue our dual focus on service and research.
This September, BWNJOY will celebrate its 5th anniversary! Thank you to everyone for your dedication and contributions.
Your efforts have helped us create a safe space for African American (AA) women to find support, fellowship, and develop research that benefits both AA women and the broader AA community.
Together, we have:
Shaped multiple Master’s and undergraduate public health projects.
Been awarded intramural and extramural grants.
Published a peer-reviewed article, with several more on the way!
Disseminated research to our community.
And so much more ❤
With these successes in research and service—providing a safe, respectful, and supportive space for personal and professional growth—we recognize the need to refocus. While we accomplish a great deal during our meetings, we believe a more structured approach will enhance the experience for everyone.
We are introducing three new ways to participate in BWNJOY. We would love to hear your thoughts and ideas for moving forward during our meeting this Friday or via email.
To facilitate your feedback in this process, please complete the attached survey by August 15th.

Thank you, with love and blessings,
Sparkle and Hafsa
