About me: Black Women for Wellness started as sisterfriends with the Birthing Projected in Los Angeles in 1994. 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. Financial Contributors to BWW are tax deductible.
1) 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.
2) Black Women for Wellness defines good health as more than mere absence of disease, but the ability to grow, to soar, to use our strength, our power as women, our beauty, our intelligence uninhibited to the fullest extent for the pursuit of healthy lives, families and communities.
3) We believe in preventing illness through education, self-empowerment, access, appropriate treatments and interventions, blending solutions that work for us, no matter our lifestyles, financial or educational status.
4) Black Women for Wellness defines good health as physical, spiritual, emotional, mental, and financial well-being. We also believe good health requires a blending of western medicine with traditional and natural healers to create a balanced life.
BWW continually seeks volunteers that possess marketing, information technology, organizational and fundraising skills
