About This Event:
The COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately impacted women of color by exacerbating gender and racial disparities in medical healthcare systems that have led to disastrous effects on Black communities, especially Black women. To learn more about healthcare inequalities that impact Black women, join WOMEN’S WAY for a powerful panel discussion addressing healthcare challenges that exist and the urgent needs of Black women. This is an online event on February 17, 2021 from 4-5:30 PM EST.
