The reasons for Black women's worse health outcomes range from lack of access to quality healthcare to income inequality to systemic racism in the medical field, experts say."Compared to white women, Black women are more likely to be uninsured, face greater financial barriers to care when they need it and are less likely to access prenatal care,", a nonprofit organization focused on improving the lives of women and families.
"Staying alive is the most radical thing you can do as a Black person in America and GirlTrek, as the largest health organization, has been asking Black women to stay alive for 10 years," said Dixon."We’ve been saying that Black women are dying faster and younger and at higher rates than any other group of people in America and this is injustice."GirlTrek is a national health movement aimed at helping Black women and girls through walking.
"Our leisure time, because of economic circumstances, is greatly limited, so the last thing we want to do after laboring for hours on end is to get on the treadmill," said Dixon."We are asking Black women to take back our time and heal our bodies one step at a time." The women of GirlTrek walk alone, they walk in groups and they have walked the paths of their ancestors, including retracing Tubman's 100-mile journey to freedom from slavery. This year the women of GirlTrek listened to the stories of their ancestors as they walked through the organization's first Black History Bootcamp, a 21-day series of walking meditations that told the stories of Black women who worked to change the world.

Let Black People Have Equality Now!!
Walk to the polls and vote for Trump, before the China virus they had the lowest unemployment rate ever under the Trump economy
more power and we need more of them
Overall I think the health component has merit. Good for them! Some of their ideals are unfortunate. No one should feel subjected to racism. I don't agree with the health care access. I see hundreds of black women and men with insurance every year working well paying jobs.
Ya walk to polls and vote for Trump.
