20 Health and Wellness Brands For Black Women

Published on June 10, 2020

As a black woman, I’m tired of going from store to store, trying to find a product that best suits my needs. I’m sick of going to stores and asking for products and employees telling me, “oh, we don’t have that product.” Honey, let me tell you what I’ve learned. It’s that this traditional white health and wellness industry isn’t going to come to us with a silver platter and be like “hey we got products for you.” Honestly we aren’t going to sit around and wait for them either.

It’s hard being a black woman and going out and trying to find products for ourselves. Here are some beautiful black women that took it into their own hands to create health and wellness products for all the sistas out there.
