Black Women’s Health Imperative is a leading African American health education, research, advocacy and leadership development institution. Since 1983 it has been a pioneer in promoting the empowerment of African American women as educated health care consumers and a strong voice for the improved status of African American women. In 2007, Mocha Moms chapters in the Maryland/D.C. area teamed up with the Black Women’s Health Imperative to host a Healthy Moms, Thriving Families Workshop to educate the African American community on obesity, diabetes and weight management.
