Far more than a walking group, we exist to bring health and happiness to the doorsteps of 700 million Black women worldwide. We are a campaign to heal intergenerational trauma, fight systemic racism and transform Black lives.

We are powering a mass movement for health justice.

Walk together children and don't you get weary.”

We walk to heal our bodies, inspire our daughters, and reclaim the streets of our neighborhoods.
