2027 Signature Program
What We Should Know: A Health & Wellness Series for Black Women
Black women deserve health information that is clear, trustworthy, and rooted in lived experience. What We Should Know is EmpowerHER’s signature women’s health series, bringing together physicians, clinicians, therapists, and community health educators for open, judgment-free conversations about the questions that matter most.
Across seven free virtual sessions from January to July 2027, we will explore preventive care and screenings; hormones through the life stages; what is normal and what is not; sexual and reproductive health; patient advocacy; LGBTQ+ health; and mental and physical wellness. Each session runs about 90 minutes and includes moderated Q&A.
Our goal is to support accessible, culturally informed health education while helping participants build knowledge, confidence, and the capacity to advocate for their own health.
This series is for educational purposes only and does not replace individual medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
