This year, we have much to celebrate: in just four years, we’ve witnessed transformative milestones in higher education.  A 232% increase in state funding for student aid has unlocked life-changing opportunities for thousands of students. Landmark initiatives like the launch of free community college for all, access to financial aid for undocumented students, and enhanced support systems at community colleges and public universities are creating a more equitable and accessible pathway to higher education. These achievements aren’t just numbers—they represent lives changed, futures brightened, and barriers dismantled.

Calling all Black Women! Help Us, help Each Other! For generations, Black women have not been equally included in important health research resulting in a lack of information specific to Black women’s health. Including Black women in research is NOW such a crucial step toward improving cancer outcomes and eliminating disparities. By joining together, we can gain valuable insights into the diverse experiences and health challenges faced by Black women and learn how to deliver culturally competent and effective interventions, treatments, and preventive measures. Black women have made significant advancements in the areas of education, economics, business, and politics. NOW is the time to see similar advancements in health. By engaging in the VOICES of Black Women, we can help transform the health of Black women. Please click on the link today and be a part of FUTURE advancements in WOMENS HEALTH!
