At Living in Queendom, we are committed to empowering and encouraging Black women to become our best selves! We carry so much, not because we are superhuman, but because we’ve had to navigate systems that were never designed with us in mind. Add to that the cultural foods we grew up on, the stress we’ve normalized, and the responsibilities we shoulder daily, and it’s no surprise that this weight often shows up in our health. We are disproportionately affected by health conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, and diabetes just to name a few. These aren’t just health conditions, they are lived experiences that shape how we feel, function, and move through the world.
But here’s the good news: There are plenty of Black women doing the work that you can find on YouTube. They are teaching, guiding, and leading with wisdom, science, expertise, and heart to help us nourish ourselves in ways that truly support our healing.
