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.

For our final spotlight, we honor Roxane Gay, writer, cultural critic, and unapologetic truth-teller. 🤎

In Bad Feminist, Gay embraces complexity and reminds us that feminism does not require perfection to be powerful. Through sharp, honest essays, she shows that we can hold contradictions, critique culture, and still demand justice for Black women.

As we close out this series, we carry forward what these writers have taught us: our voices matter, our stories matter, and bravery lives in telling the truth anyway.

For today’s spotlight, we honor Toni Morrison, literary giant, cultural critic, and truth-teller whose work continues to shape how we understand race, power, and storytelling. 🤎

In Playing in the Dark: Whiteness and the Literary Imagination, Morrison examines how Blackness has shaped American literature and exposes the unspoken racial foundations of the literary canon. Her analysis challenges us to read more critically and to see what has been intentionally obscured.

Her words remind us: to tell the truth is an act of courage.

For today’s spotlight, we honor Tressie McMillan Cottom, , sociologist, cultural critic, and truth-teller whose work challenges how we think about race, gender, power, and capitalism. 🤎

In Thick: And Other Essays, Cottom blends personal narrative with sharp analysis, unpacking everything from beauty standards to higher education to the labor of Black women. Her essays remind us that our lived experiences are worthy of intellectual rigor and political conversation.

To be “thick” is to hold complexity — and refuse to be flattened.

For today’s spotlight, we honor Alice Walker, novelist, poet, and visionary whose words have shaped generations. 🤎

In In Search of Our Mothers’ Gardens, Walker reflects on the creativity, resilience, and unrecognized artistry of Black women whose genius thrived despite oppression. Through essays and reflections, she urges us to reclaim our stories and honor the legacy of those who created beauty in constrained spaces.
