Today, we honor the history, resilience, cultures, and contributions of Indigenous peoples.

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we recognize the generations of Indigenous communities who have preserved their traditions, protected their lands, and continued to advocate for their rights, health, and well-being.

We also acknowledge the importance of addressing the health disparities and systemic barriers that Indigenous communities continue to face.

At BWHI, we know that health equity means ensuring every community has access to quality care, culturally responsive resources, and the opportunity to thrive.

Today and every day, we honor Indigenous voices, celebrate their contributions, and stand in solidarity with the ongoing pursuit of health, dignity, and equity for all.

Reproductive Justice is about more than reproductive healthcare. It’s about our right to live healthy, safe, and empowered lives. 💜

October 12–18 is Reproductive Justice Week of Action (RJWOA), hosted by In Our Own Voice: National Black Women’s Reproductive Justice Agenda, bringing together advocates, organizations, and communities to amplify the voices of Black women, girls, and gender-expansive people.

Throughout the week, the movement will spotlight critical issues connected to reproductive justice, including maternal health, fertility justice, youth engagement, voting and democracy, religious autonomy, housing and economic security, and Medicaid access.

At BWHI, we're proud to amplify Maternal Health during this year's Week of Action.

Reproductive justice means ensuring Black women have access to quality maternal healthcare, are heard and respected throughout their pregnancy and postpartum journeys, and have the resources and support needed to make informed decisions about their bodies and families.

Join us in raising awareness, sharing resources, and continuing the conversation about maternal health and reproductive justice.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to fit in or change who you are to deserve love, respect, or opportunity.

The world needs your brilliance, your creativity, your courage, and your perspective just as you are.

This International Day of the Girl, we’re celebrating every Black girl and reminding her that she deserves to grow up in a world where she is seen, supported, healthy, and empowered to thrive.

BWHI is bringing Power in the Pause to Charlotte, NC, on October 24 as part of the OneWe Reach “Reclaim Your Time” Peak Performance & Longevity Summit!

We're making space for real conversations about perimenopause, menopause, healthy aging, and what it means to prioritize our health and well-being at every stage of life.

Because navigating midlife isn't about slowing down. It's about understanding our bodies, getting the information we deserve, and stepping into this next chapter feeling informed, supported, and empowered.

We are excited that Ifeoma, our EVP of Policy, Advocacy and Science will join Tigerlily Foundation’s 4th Annual BEACON Symposium as a speaker this October in Washington, DC!

This year’s theme, “From Access to Action: Scaling Patient-Led Solutions for an Equitable Future,” challenges us to move beyond conversations about access and toward solutions shaped by the people healthcare is meant to serve.

Ifeoma will be joining patients, advocates, healthcare leaders, providers, and experts in science for meaningful conversations about what it takes to create a more equitable, patient-centered future.

We’re creating space to get informed, ask questions, and make the connection between health and policy, from healthcare and maternal health to housing, education, food security, and more.

Bring your questions. Bring a friend. Come ready to learn.

We’re excited to share that BWHI’s film, Me Period, has been accepted into BlackDoctor’s inaugural Film Festival, taking place October 14 in Washington, DC!

Me Period was created to open the door to honest, intergenerational conversations about periods, our bodies, and menstrual health, conversations that too often go unspoken.
To see this film continue to reach new audiences and create space for education, connection, and conversation is exactly why this work matters.

We’re proud to bring Me Period to the BlackDoctor Film Festival and continue changing the way we talk about menstrual health, one conversation at a time. 🎥💜
