It's all about being WHOLE!

I started this blog because I'm concerned about the state of Black women's health. Looking at the national health statistics, we have the highest incidence of most cancers, heart disease, diabetes, HIV/AIDs, and numerous other diseases than women of other ethnicities.

But we're more than statistics. We're real women facing real health problems. Doctors might be able to cure, but healing is something we have to do for ourselves. But we're not alone; we have each other.

WHOLE is an acronym for "Women Healing Ourselves with Loving Energy." It's about self-care; learning how to take better care of ourselves--spirit, mind, and body. I believe in the power of Black women to turn these negative health statistics into a positive healing community. Come back soon and often. Together we'll be WHOLE!
