Many enslaved African and African American women were sources of medicinal knowledge, and many served as midwives and healers, West African slaves brought not only herbal knowledge with them across the Atlantic; they also imported the actual seeds. Today, we discuss the legacy of black health. Black health and wellness mean having a unified community that listens to, cares for, advocates for, and helps the least resourced among us get the necessary care to live the best holistic and fulfilling lives possible while we share our time in the world.
