It is no secret that Black females are disproportionately represented among those who are affected by obesity/overweight. SHE: Sisters Healthy & Empowered now has a new resource with the publication of the new book, Black Girls Guide: How to Lose Weight Fast & Forever, published this month.
Annually, Sisterhood Agenda celebrates National Women’s Health Week in Cruz Bay, St. John. However, this year, the Office on Women’s Health is no longer funding these activities. Since Sisterhood Agenda has implemented SHE for the past three years, we plan to continue with private funding, even if we have to scale down our activities.
One of our local activities in St. John is hiking, which takes advantage of over 40 beautiful hiking trails maintained by the Virgin Islands National Park. With SHE: Sisters Healthy & Empowered and its holistic approach to well-being, we continue to provide resources and valuable services to prevent negative health outcomes that plague too many women and girls.
