Addressing the lethal impact of systemic racism on Black women
In short: T. Morgan Dixon and Vanessa Renae explore how systematic racism creates a health crisis for Black women. They share a community-driven strategy to combat preventable deaths by prioritizing self-care and physical movement.
The founders of the nonprofit GirlTrek are working to address the leading causes of preventable death among Black women. Their approach centers on building community support and encouraging one million women and girls to prioritize their own well-being.
The initiative advocates for a literal and metaphorical shift: lacing up shoes to walk toward healthier, more fulfilled lives. By focusing on self-care as a foundational step, the project aims to create a pathway for systemic change through collective action.
