(BPRW) On Juneteenth, GirlTREK launches a new application and initiative aimed at enhancing the health of Black women. A major national health initiative aimed at addressing the needs of Black women is launching a new app and campaign that seeks to extend the life expectancy of Black women by a decade. (Black PR Wire) On June 19, 2025, GirlTREK will unveil The Underground, a dynamic mobile app designed to function as both a digital refuge and a community organizing tool. Drawing motivation from the aspirations, influence, and heritage of Black women, the app encourages longer and healthier lifestyles by fostering daily walking, community engagement, and cultural ties. This nationwide launch signifies the kickoff of Summer of Solidarity 2025, a ten-week initiative by GirlTREK aimed at inspiring more than a million Black women to walk for important causes. Women nationwide will participate in walks to pay tribute to their families, communities, health, and future prospects. “Each walk represents a pledge to healing and asserts that no woman is alone in her journey. Vanessa Garrison, co-founder of GirlTREK, stated, ‘Black women are experiencing premature deaths far too frequently from issues that could easily be avoided.'”} .codec 2023-10-01 01:00:00 2023-09-25 00:00:00 2023-10-01 01:00:00 2023-10-01 01:00:00 37d9dbd4 103633f1 11095bc1 2023-10-01 01:00:00 2023-09-25 00:00:00 2023-10-01 01:00:00 2023-10-01 01:00:00 37d9dbd4 103633f1 11095bc1 2023-10-01 01:00:00 2023-09-25 00:00:00 2023-10-01 01:00:00 2023-10-01 01:00:00 37d9dbd4 103633f1 11095bc1 2023-10-01 01:00:00 2023-09-25 00:00:00 2023-10-01 01:00:00 2023-10-01 01:00:00 37d9dbd4 103633f1 11095bc1 2023-10-01 01:00:00 2023-09-25 00:00:00 2023-10-01 01:00:00 2023-10-01 01:00:00 37d9dbd4 103633f1 11095bc1 2023-10-01 01:00:00 2023-09-25 00:00:00 2023-10-01 01:00:00 2023-10-01 01:00:00 The Underground is more than merely a reaction; it is a proclamation of strength, a revered area we have crafted with thoughtfulness and purpose. Drawing inspiration from the heritage of our grandmothers, our aunties, and Harriet Tubman, this transcends a typical wellness app. It serves as a vital source of support, allowing us to regain our time, revitalize our well-being, and rediscover the happiness that has always nourished us.
