Black Woman Be Well
Hosted by Jennifer Tomlinson, Black Woman Be Well is a podcast dedicated to the discussion of health & wellness through the unique perspective of black women. Every episode features guest speakers and experts in their field. Some episodes include friends and family for "girl chat", as we share and learn from each other. It is all geared towards starting the conversation that "we are not alone" when it comes to how we feel, and learning how to advocate for our unique health experiences.
