Twin Sisters Partner with ColoradoSPH Alumna to Drive Health Equity for Denver’s Black Communities Twins Ivana and Irmina Clarke partner with ColoradoSPH alumna Cynthia Hazel to promote health equity in Denver's Black communities through exercise.

The BRIC Fund is proud to support Black maternal health initiatives – working toward a future where Black mothers receive the care they deserve and Black families thrive across Colorado. The Gyedi Project is closing gaps in Black maternal health through community-rooted care. Their HearMe20 program offers culturally responsive education and support, designed to enhance maternal health outcomes among Black women in Colorado.

For those of us working in health equity, knowing that our partners stand firm with us is both reassuring and necessary. May we all continue to find and cultivate these steadfast partnerships—because the work is too critical to do alone.
To fellow organizations navigating these uncertain times: Keep going. Keep building. And know that support exists, even in the hardest moments.

Thank you for your support Telligen Community Initiative.

GYEDI'S CIRCLE OF HEARTS PRESENTS:

A Heartfelt Conversation on Women’s Health
Join us for an intimate evening of healing, empowerment, and connection. Gyedi is committed to creating a safe space for Black women to gather, share, and learn from women’s and maternal health experts. We’re honored to have Denver's only Black Midwife, Ashley Character, and Doula Nadiyah Grace, Full-Spectrum Doula, specializing in Postpartum Care
leading discussions alongside other health specialists.
This event is designed to nurture your mind, body, and soul while giving you the opportunity to ask questions and explore topics that traditional care may have left unanswered.
Let’s come together for meaningful conversations that prioritize your well-being

Limited spots available, Reserve your place in this empowering and supportive gathering.

The World Health Organization recommends that all adults get a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate physical activity (PA) and 75 minutes of vigorous PA per week, but just over half of Americans were meeting this goal as of 2018. This proportion decreases much more with age, and is consistently lower for non-Hispanic Black Americans.

Elevate your experience at the EmpowerHer Conference where stories of strength and triumph from navigating medical journeys to the joys of motherhood, take center stage! This health education event is your moment to share, care, connect, and build lasting networks, while gaining valuable insight into women's health.
