“There are many health issues that face the African American community and many of those can be prevented by eating right and exercising. In addition, even after diagnosis of some health issues, life can be potentially prolonged or managed by changing to a healthier lifestyle.”
OPERATION B-HEALTHY will start by educating through our website with important information and videos that people can access. We will also promote our t-shirt that will let others know that you are committed to changing your lifestyle and choosing to live life on your own terms.
Even more, to support health causes, Black Health Village will donate a portion of all t-shirt sales to the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, which “works to educate and improve the quality of life of children and adults affected by these diseases.”
“The choice to support the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation was easy because my daughter is an overcomer of Crohn’s and this is our way of giving back and supporting others,” said Sankofa.
