Body, Get Fit, Look Good, Strong Mind

This time of year most of us are either looking back on our goals for the year or scrapping them and starting over. And if we’re talking about fitness goals, most likely we’re in the latter. With all the good food, parties, gatherings, and cocktails on the menu for the next couple weeks, of course the last thing on our mind is the gym.

For black women, even though we may encounter skin concerns that could apply to anyone, there are a few that are specific to melanated skin. It’s because of this, that many women opt to choose to find a dermatologist that understands our unique skin needs. If you’re looking for black dermatologists to help you tackle your...

So often, the answers to our most pressing questions, the information we need to truly thrive, or the ideas that we’ve been trying to articulate on a certain topic can found within the pages of a book.

And we don’t mean books packed with medical terminology or statistics that we can’t quite understand. We mean books that help us understand what’s going on with our bodies, health, and the things we do can to be better in a way that we can understand. Whether you’re a book loving health enthusiast or...
