Let me know if you’d like alternative versions with a different tone or focus.
Weāre living in a time where digital healthcare is more accessible than ever, and Culture Care is leading the way by connecting Black women with Black doctors through telemedicine. At this yearās Essence Festival, their booth shed light on the serious gaps in the U.S. healthcare system, especially when it comes to women of color.
Claire Sulmers, CEO of Fashion Bomb, shared her own struggles with the healthcare system and spoke out about the need for equal access to quality care. She stressed that good healthcare shouldnāt be a privilege and applauded Culture Care for making it easier and more affordable for Black women to speak with doctors who truly understand their experiences.
Dr. Joy A. Cooper, often referred to as the Olivia Pope of ObGyn, addressed the alarming rates of maternal health issues and mortality among Black women, which are often linked to bias and discrimination in the medical field. She highlighted that Black women face higher risks during pregnancy and are more likely to suffer from conditions like asthma and heart disease.
Thereās no denying that bias exists in healthcare. Thatās why itās so important for Black women to have access to doctors who can provide the care they deserve. For instance, 79% of Black women are either overweight or obese, which raises the risk of serious health problems like heart disease, high blood pressure, liver issues, and diabetes. Making healthier food choices and staying active can make a big difference.

Whether youāre dealing with fertility concerns, fibroids, mental health, or postpartum recovery, doctors like Aaliyah Hodge, Stephanie Brown, and Joy A. Cooper are available to helpāall from the comfort of your home.
