WE DO WHAT WE DO BECAUSE
BLACK WOMEN’S HEALTH MATTERS
If we lived in a society where health equity was a reality, here’s what could happen:
2,400 fewer deaths from breast cancer each year
Infant mortality rates for Black women would drop by 35%
High school and college graduation rates for Black girls and women would increase by 50% and 25%, respectively
The U.S. economy could grow by $250 – $300 billion
