A Word From Our Founder
Greetings,
Thank you for your interest in Black Girl Health (BGH). This website is designed to give you all of the information you need about BGH, including information on how to get and stay fit.
I started Black Girl Health because I have been impacted by some of the illnesses that consistently and disproportionately plague black women and women of other racial minorities.
Black Girl Health is dedicated to helping women – and their partners, friends, and family – achieving healthier lifestyles.
If you have any questions about the information in this package please contact me directly at publisher@blackgirlhealth.com
I look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
Porcha Johnson Publisher, Black Girl Heath
