New York, NY (PRWEB) February 02, 2012
The complex story of Black womens health has for too long been left untold. Today, as Black women face an unprecedented health crisis, denial and self-neglect are no longer viable options, because when Black womens well-being wanes, it rocks the foundation of the entire community, says the Black Womens Health Imperative. Yet even with the odds stacked against them, when Black women are provided with the tools to succeed, they can triumph.
HEALTH FIRST! The Black Womans Wellness Guide (SmileyBooks, February 2012, ISBN: 978-1401936952, $ 27.95, Paperback) provides todays Black woman with a comprehensive guide to her #1 resource: herself. It empowers her with the information she needs to express her full physical, emotional, and spiritual potential.
Written by the president and CEO of the Black Womens Health Imperative, Eleanor Hinton Hoytt, and award-winning health journalist Hilary Beard, this groundbreaking volume connects the dots through honest discussions with health experts and the uncensored stories of real women whove survived and thrived.
Grounded in vital research, the book focuses on prevention and awareness across generations and circumstancesfrom candid conversations about reproductive health and HIV/AIDS, to frank explorations of Black womens Top 10 Health Risks including heart disease, cancer, obesity, depression, and violence.
HEALTH FIRST! teaches Black women how to see themselves through new eyes and encourages them to make new choices. It explains why we must place our self-care above all other responsibilities in our lives, says Eleanor Hinton Hoytt. Decisions made today have consequences tomorrow; thats why we encourage women to think of their lives and health as a lifelong process, not just a series of disconnected events.
At last, solid sister-to-sister information, advice, and no-nonsense straight talk about our health and how to really be good to ourselves! says Marcia Ann Gillespie, former editor-in-chief of Essence and Ms. magazines.
