Umoja: Rooted in Wellness series
Lecture/Symposium
High blood pressure often goes unnoticed, yet it is one of the leading contributors to heart and kidney disease and disproportionately impacts Black communities. Our 3rd session offers space to learn more about how hypertension affects the body, why these disparities exist, and what prevention and early awareness can look like. Whether you’re interested in health care or simply want to better understand how health issues show up across communities, this is a welcoming, low-pressure opportunity to build knowledge, ask questions, and connect learning to real-world impact.
