What is Girlfriends Circle
This educational series explores women's health and the challenges Black women are forced to navigate in the healthcare system. From learning how to advocate for yourself with your provider to carcinogenic chemicals marketed specifically to black women in beauty products, we've gathered a group of qualified panelists to lead this series.
