Black Women For Wellness

Black Women for Wellness started as sisterfriends with the Birthing Project in Los Angeles in 1997. Financial Contributors to BWW are tax deductible.

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. We began as a group of women concerned about the health and well-being of our babies.As grandmothers, mothers, aunties, daughters, and sisterfriends, we found we had no choice but to take on the plethora of health issues Black women encounter. As a non-profit, Black Women for Wellness is able to seek funding and accept donations to support our programs. BWW is a nonprofit corporation under Section 501 (c) (3) Revenue Code.

Did you know that Black women are diagnosed with breast cancer at the same rate as white women, yet are 40% more likely to die? That’s not biology, it’s systemic failure. Too often, our symptoms are dismissed, our concerns are delayed, and our care is neglected. Black women deserve healthcare that listens the first time.

Whether it’s breast self-exams, clinical screenings, mammograms, or advanced diagnostics, early detection and timely follow-up save lives. But breast health isn’t only about cancer. It’s about recognizing changes, speaking up about lingering pain, inflammation, or discharge, and demanding answers when something feels off.

This is why breast health is a reproductive justice issue. Reproductive justice is about more than healthcare; it’s about the freedom to choose and the autonomy to imagine more. Fierce Aunties fight for systems that hear us the first time, center our dignity, and invest in research and care that protect our lives.

Black women are at the heart of this work. Black Women for Wellness’ Fierce Aunties campaign is all about taking collective action, which is essential to building a more just and equitable future.

Sis, have you scheduled your mammogram yet? 💕

Tag a sister and remind her to do the same because our health is community work. Early detection saves lives, and we’re stronger when we keep in touch with each other. 💗

Tyla Addams, BWW’s Program Manager for Sisters in Control – Reproductive Justice, represented us at the Congressional Black Caucus in Washington, D.C. during the session “State Success to National Impact: Celebrating Black Maternal Health Wins.”

Tyla highlighted our 2024 maternal health policy victory — AB 2319, which was signed into law thanks to more than 2,500 community petitions we gathered and sent to the Governor’s desk! She also highlighted our latest wins from this legislative cycle, including AB 55 (on the Governor’s desk) and AB 260, now signed into law.

We are continuing our mission to eliminate health disparities and uplift Black mothers, babies, and families across California!
