Exhale

This month in particular we are asking Black Women to join us in prioritizing your well-being. Our vision for Exhale is centered on this quote from Audre Lorde, "Caring for myself is not self-indulgence; it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare." By pledging to prioritize your own well-being, you are contributing to the largest movement to prioritize Black Women's health and welll-being. Will you join us?

Today is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day. According to The State of Self Care for Black Women Report by Exhale 53% of the women surveyed said they don’t believe their current work environment provides supportive resources for them. This support includes pay equity. “Black women face many barriers to achieving pay equity, including pay discrimination, occupational segregation, racial and gender-based disparities in salaries, retirement savings, student loan debt, and other factors limiting the ability to build wealth. Black women typically earn only 66 cents on the dollar to what white, non-Hispanic men make, according to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research (IWPR). Black Women’s Equal Pay Day is one of those yearly observances we don’t celebrate as a holiday—it’s more of a reminder, a marker, a warning.” *Excerpt from National Organization for Women (NOW). #equalpay #blackwomensequalpayday #equity #payequity #equalpayday

Exhale conducted a report where we surveyed over 1000 Black Women on their mental, emotional and physical health in the context of their intersectional identities. “The State of Self-Care for Black Women” report. Key findings indicate that 72% of Black Women would be more inclined to utilize mental health resources if those resources addressed their unique experiences as Black Women.
