BLACK HEALTH EXPLAINED
A platform striving to increase awareness on health in black communities
Black Health Explained is a health promotion platform created to provide a space for Black the community to stay educated on their health. As Black livelihood is continually being threatened by health disparities and systemic oppression, it is more important now than ever to have a platform that focuses on promoting healthy living for our community. Considering that health literacy is the lowest amongst our racial group, Black Health Explained will focus on addressing this issue by educating our community on health topics in an engaging, well understood manner through blog posts and our social media presence. Our platform has a focus on engaging with Black, young adults as early health intervention will reduce the risk of developing health issues later in life.
