The California Black Women's Health Project (CABWHP) is the only statewide, non-profit organization that is solely committed to improving the health of California's 1.2 million Black women and girls through advocacy, education, outreach, and policy. We focus on empowering Black women to take personal responsibility for our own health and to advocate for changes in policies that negatively affect Black women's health status.

Black women’s enduring care for our communities & our contributions to society’s progress remind us that we are deserving of both celebration & rest. We carry so much, including responsibilities, expectations & the well-being of others. And, it is critical to consider what we can set down in order to care for ourselves. What will you choose to release, even for a moment, so that you can breathe, restore & make space for your own well-being?

Remember: caring for yourself, is also nurturing the well-being & possibilities of future generations.

Remembering our resistance, unapologetically.

Black August is a time to remember the people who refused to accept oppression as inevitable. The organizers, freedom fighters, political prisoners & community members who challenged systems built to silence, limit & disenfranchise Black communities.

Their resistance was not always celebrated in its time. But it created pathways for us to speak, organize, gather & demand better.

Remembering is more than looking back. It’s recognizing and giving flowers to individuals who currently confront injustice, protect one another, hold space for Black healing & fight for a world where Black people can truly flourish.

This Black August & beyond, we remember. We honor. We celebrate & thank legacy leaders. We carry it forward.

Nurturing our spirits, unapologetically.

Black August asks us to remember that liberation is not simply something we strive for. It’s something we practice in how we care for ourselves & one another.

For Black women, that can mean choosing rest without guilt, making room for joy, tending to our bodies & refusing the expectation that we must always give more of ourselves.

Nurturing your spirit is not a distraction from the work. It helps sustain us for the work ahead.

This Black August, we encourage you to make room for yourself, your joy & the fullness of your life.

Dedicated funding & equitable access to care are essential to reducing health disparities & improving health outcomes.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, August 4th, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors will make a decision that could help protect lifesaving care for the communities that need it most.

MLK Community Hospital has never been included in the annual Measure B funding formula, despite serving one of Los Angeles County’s highest-need communities. At a time when massive federal cuts to Medicaid are creating a financial crisis for safety net hospitals, we cannot afford to let this inequity continue.

It’s time to mobilize for our wellness! Scroll through to learn how to get involved or visit conta.cc/4wCcsJg

Black women, your wellness deserves space & intention. Continue caring for your families & communities while honoring the care you need.

Whether you are an advocate, public health professional, birthworker, caregiver or changemaker, your well being deserves to be centered. As we work to advance health equity, we encourage you to prioritize yourself with the same intention you bring to your families, your work & your community.

Caring for yourself is part of caring for the collective. Every Black woman deserves the time, space & support to thrive.

Health equity means more than equal treatment. It means ensuring every Black woman & girl has equitable opportunities, access & resources to achieve optimal health & wellness by addressing the social determinants of health that shape outcomes, including access to affirming & affordable care, healthy environments, housing & economic stability & community support.

At CABWHP, we are committed to advancing equity by expanding access, amplifying voices & advocating for systems that recognize, support & prioritize the health & well-being of Black women & girls through a holistic approach that addresses the social & structural factors impacting their health.

What happens when we finally share our stories, out loud?

Join us this Friday, July 10th, to discover the powerful impact of storytelling at an unforgettable screening of “Said Out Loud: Our Abortion Stories,” a documentary that bravely centers the raw, unfiltered experiences of Black women reclaiming their bodily autonomy & breaking intergenerational cycles.

Now screening at a critical time, when life saving reproductive rights are under threat & Black women are disproportionately impacted, “Said Out Loud” holds space for truth telling, health advocacy, healing & community dialogue.
