Reclaiming Our Village – Session 1
Did you know that Black women in Minnesota experience higher rates of heart disease and diabetes than the general population? Reclaiming Our Village is a new program dedicated to supporting Black women aged 35 and older in South Minneapolis by offering a holistic approach to health and well-being.
