Last week, a friend shared a brief but powerful Facebook update:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour black friends are emotionally exhausted.\u201d <\/p>U. Eze<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I know that my Mom in the City<\/em> audience is racially diverse (by intention) but today\u2019s post is geared primarily towards my fellow African American\/Black community members. Take care of yourselves. You and your health matter!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am a big proponent of Black people doing well in every area of our lives \u2013 including health (the Fitness portion of my 5F lifestyle framework<\/a>). That is why I\u2019m participating in a project to share the Take Action for Health<\/a><\/strong> website with fellow Black families.

It\u2019s a new website that is focused on teaching how to reduce some of the greatest health risks facing our community in 2021. Black health disparities are real. That is why a variety of organizations collaborated to create this resource for the African American\/Black community. Partners include Anthem, Inc., Beckman Research Institute of City of Hope, Golden State Medical Association, National Urban League, Pfizer Inc., and 100 Black Men of America, Inc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
