Healing for the mind, body & soul

​California Black Women's Health Project (CABWHP) is the only statewide, non-profit organization that is solely committed to ​improving the health of California's 1.2 million Black women and girls through advocacy, education, outreach and policy. We focus on empowering Black women to take personal responsibility for our own health and to advocate for changes in policies that negatively affect Black women's health status.

OUR IMPACT

Women Who Dared: A Time to Care Affair was an incredible celebration! On May 23, 2023, our community came together for this exciting event where we uplifted wellness and celebrated exceptional Black women who dare to make a difference in the lives of Black women, girls, families, and communities. ​

Our Work

During the 54th Annual NAACP Image Awards, Sonya Young Aadam, CEO of California Black Women's Health Project, was honored with this year’s “Unsung Heroes” award. The NAACP and Metamucil presented the “Unsung Heroes” honors to individuals who, like Sonya, make exceptional contributions to society and the success of missions or projects, but who do not receive widespread recognition for their efforts. The sunset on ‘Women’s History Month’ and the sunrise on ‘National Minority Health Month’, presents an opportunity to celebrate Sonya’s nearly 9 years of leadership and dedication to Black women’s health advocacy, health disparities reduction, and better health and wellness for Black communities.

Sisters Mentally Mobilized - Advocate Training Program has provided something I have never witnessed before in my life, Black women receiving unwavering love, care and support, unconditionally. The program is very special and I am grateful to be a part of it.

What I loved most about Sisters Mentally Mobilized was having a seat in the circle! We all were welcomed, heard, supported and seen.
