💝 National Donor Day | Valentine’s Day 💝

Today is about love.

And what greater act of love is there than giving someone another chance at life?

On National Donor Day, we honor those who say “yes” to organ, eye, tissue, blood, and platelet donation. One decision can save multiple lives. One act of love can create a legacy that lasts far beyond us.

Donation is love in action.
Donation is compassion beyond circumstance.
Donation is hope for families waiting on a miracle.

For many women navigating chronic illness, transplantation and blood donation aren’t distant topics — they are lifelines.

So today, as we celebrate Valentine’s Day…
đź’ś Love boldly.
đź’ś Love intentionally.
đź’ś Love in ways that outlive you.

Have the conversation. Register as a donor. Choose to give life.

And if you’re ready to show love in motion…

đź‘ź Join us for the Girl, Get Up Walk on April 11th.
Let’s walk for awareness. Walk for advocacy. Walk for women’s health.

✨ Register today: GirlGetUpWalk.com
Because love isn’t just a feeling — it’s action.

💜 Heart Failure Awareness Week ♥️

February 8–14

Heart failure doesn’t mean the heart has stopped.
It means the heart isn’t pumping blood as well as it should.

And for many women—especially women of color—symptoms are often overlooked or misinterpreted.

⚠️ Know the signs:
• Shortness of breath
• Swelling in legs, ankles, or feet
• Fatigue or weakness
• Rapid or irregular heartbeat
• Persistent cough or wheezing
• Sudden weight gain from fluid retention

Heart failure is a serious condition—but early detection, lifestyle changes, and proper care can improve quality of life and outcomes.

At the Girl, Get Up Movement, we believe in:
✨ Listening to our bodies
✨ Advocating for proper diagnosis
✨ Breaking the silence around chronic illness
✨ Supporting women living with invisible and visible health challenges

Your symptoms are not “just stress.”
Your fatigue is not “just busy.”
Your life matters.

💜 This week, let’s raise awareness, check in on ourselves, and support the women fighting heart conditions every single day.

Join us at the 3rd Annual Girl, Get Up Walk on April 11th to raise awareness. Register for free at GirlGetUpWalk.com!

❤️ National Wear Red Day | February 6 ❤️

Today, we wear red in action—for awareness, advocacy, and women’s heart health.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, yet many of us still face misdiagnosis, undertreatment, or dismissal.

Fatigue. Dizziness. Shortness of breath. Back or jaw pain.
Sometimes it’s not “just stress”—it’s your heart asking to be heard.

This is your reminder to know the facts, trust your body, and advocate for yourself.

👟 Join us for the Girl, Get Up Walk as we walk in support of women’s health, visibility, and lives impacted by chronic illness.

Today, on World Cancer Day, we honor the fighters, the survivors, and the lives forever changed by cancer. 🎗️

We stand with those currently battling, those who carry the scars of survival, and those we hold close in memory.

Cancer doesn’t just affect the body—it impacts families, communities, and generations. That’s why we walk.

We walk to raise awareness.
We walk to honor resilience.
We walk to remind every survivor and caregiver that they are not alone.

💜 Join us for the Girl, Get Up Walk on April 11th—in memory of a loved one, in honor of a survivor, or in support of those still fighting.

Every step is a tribute. Every step is hope.

đź’™ Rheumatoid Arthritis Awareness Day | February 2 đź’ś

Rheumatoid arthritis isn’t “just joint pain.”
It’s an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation, fatigue, stiffness, and pain—often invisible, often misunderstood, and often dismissed.

For many women, RA impacts daily movement, mental health, work, relationships, and quality of life. Some days, getting out of bed is the victory.

Today, we honor the warriors living with RA—the ones who push through flare-ups, advocate for themselves in medical spaces, and keep showing up even when their bodies say otherwise.

✨ Your pain is real.
✨ Your journey matters.
✨ Your strength deserves to be seen.

At The Girl, Get Up Movement, we stand with every woman navigating rheumatoid arthritis and remind you that you are not alone.

Join us in celebrating all the RA Warriors at our 3rd Annual Girl, Get Up Walk on April 11th! Learn more and register for FREE at GirlGetUpWalk.com! 🔗 in bio ➡️

✨ Happy Black History Month ✨

Black history is not only about what we’ve survived — it’s about the strength, resilience, and brilliance we continue to embody.

What’s often left out of the conversation is this:
Black women are disproportionately impacted by autoimmune diseases like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and more — often experiencing delayed diagnoses, misdiagnosis, and dismissal of symptoms for years.

Historically, our pain has been minimized.
Our symptoms overlooked.
Our voices unheard.

Yet still — we rise.
We advocate.
We heal loudly and unapologetically.

At The Girl, Get Up Movement, we honor Black women who have carried communities while silently carrying illness. We celebrate the warriors who choose to speak up, seek care, set boundaries, and prioritize their health — even in systems that weren’t built with us in mind.

This month, we honor the past by protecting the present.
We tell our stories.
We demand better care.
We choose ourselves. đź’ś

Because Black history is also health history — and our stories matter.

Join us at the 3rd Annual Girl, Get Up Walk to celebrate the resilient women-past and present-who push beyond health equities and rise above their challenges each day! Register for free at the link in our bio! đź”—

Autoimmune illness doesn’t look the same on every woman.

Some women push through the day smiling while battling pain you’ll never see.
Some need rest.
Some need mobility support.
Some need grace.
All deserve understanding.

At the 3rd Annual Girl, Get Up Walk, we honor the many ways autoimmune disease, chronic illness, and chronic pain show up — because awareness starts with seeing the WHOLE woman.

đź‘ź We walk in solidarity.
đź’ś We stand for compassion.
🎉 And then we celebrate community, joy, and resilience together.

This event is for:
✨ Warriors
✨ Caregivers
✨ Families & friends
✨ Health professionals
✨ Allies who believe invisible battles still matter

Come as you are. Walk how you can. Celebrate fully.

➡️What this walk means to women with chronic illness…

It means being seen without having to explain.
It means showing up exactly as you are — whether that’s walking the full route, taking breaks, or simply standing or sitting in support.
It means community over comparison.

For women living with chronic illness, this walk isn’t about distance or pace.
It’s about belonging.
It’s about being understood.
It’s about knowing you’re not carrying this alone.

đź‘ź Each step represents resilience.
đź’ś Each pause represents self-advocacy.
🎉 And the celebration reminds us that joy still belongs to us.

The Girl, Get Up Walk is a space where chronic illness is acknowledged, not minimized — and where strength looks different on every woman.

Join us as we walk in solidarity and celebrate life, community, and hope together. 🫶🏾

✨ WORD OF THE YEAR: HONOR ✨

This year, we choose to HONOR.
Honor our bodies and what they need — even when that means slowing down.
Honor our energy, our limits, and the seasons of rest and restoration.
Honor our self-awareness — listening inward instead of pushing past ourselves.

Honor doesn’t mean giving up.
It means moving with ease, not force.
It means choosing flow over burnout.
It means recognizing that rest is productive, boundaries are powerful, and self-care is non-negotiable.

We honor our resilience — not by doing more, but by doing what’s aligned.
We honor our strength — not by ignoring our needs, but by respecting them.

This is the year we stop overriding our bodies…
And start honoring them instead. đź’ś

Today, we acknowledge and celebrate World Diabetes Day đź’™

To everyone living with diabetes—Type 1, Type 2, gestational, or prediabetes—you are seen, supported, and celebrated. Your daily strength, your resilience, and the way you keep showing up (even on the hard days) is nothing short of inspiring.

Diabetes is more than numbers and medications—
it’s a full-time reality that requires courage, discipline, and unwavering determination. And yet, so many warriors continue to rise, thrive, and push forward with hope.

Today, we raise awareness.
We break stigma.
We honor the fight.
And we stand with every woman who battles diabetes silently or openly, reminding her she’s not alone.

💙 To all the diabetes warriors—keep getting up.
Your strength is changing the world.

🔍 Let’s bust some myths.

Because the assumptions—we “look fine” or we’re “just tired” can hurt just as much as the illness. 

If you know a warrior woman whose struggle you can’t see—believe her. Support her.

Invisible disabilities are conditions you can’t always see, but that don’t make the battle any less real!

Autoimmune disease, chronic pain, fatigue, sensory processing issues… they often come with misunderstanding, judgment and isolation.

This week we raise awareness and we demand empathy. Though you can’t see our pain, it is very real.
