Elevate Black Wellness Presents: Black Wellness Week

Black Wellness Week stands as a testament to a legacy of advocacy and awareness, inspired by visionaries like Booker T. Washington, who recognized the urgent need to confront health disparities within the Black community. Within it's 35 year span, Booker T. Washington's National Negro Health Week empowered thousands of Black community members through health-focused activities, driving significant improvements in medical care, representation in public health, sanitation, and housing conditions.

Now, breaking new ground in equity and health advocacy, the Governor of Washington State has issued a proclamation during Black History Month, heralding the inaugural Black Wellness Week Scheduled for observation from April 15th through April 19th, 2024, this historic event signifies a pivotal moment in Washington State's Black history and reaffirms a commitment to addressing the unique health challenges faced by the Black community.

At the forefront of this transformative initiative is Elevate Black Wellness, led by Momentum Professional Strategy Partners, a Black-owned Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (DEIA) consulting firm. Black Wellness Week aims not only to honor our past but also to propel us toward a future of equitable healthcare for all communities.

Join us in this crucial endeavor by supporting and participating in Black Wellness Week events across the state. Together, we can champion holistic well-being, addressing the physical, mental, and social health needs of Black communities while tackling the disparities exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
