Actress and singer Sheryl Lee Ralph and Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts are being honored with the Black Women's Health Imperative's 2023 Vanguard Award this coming September. The two women will be recognized during BWHI's "Homecoming" event, which is an event to celebrate the empowerment of Black women's health.
The award acknowledges their commitment towards the well-being of Black women and girls. Lee Ralph and Roberts have both raised awareness and used their national platforms to bring light to health issues that are negatively affecting women of color. They have also partnered with BWHI in their initiatives to fight against health disparities, such as maternal health, diagnosis deficits, and mental health access and education.
As a faith leader, Roberts is inspiring women to find solace and support in their religions. Lee Ralph, on the other hand, has been using her fame to bring attention to health issues in the Black community. The “Homecoming” event will be held in various cities, such as Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, Los Angeles, Washington DC, and the Philadelphia Metro region. It will span from September 22 to October 20, and will provide educational resources and guidance on health and wellness specifically tailored for women of color.
The event will not only celebrate Roberts and Lee Ralph's work, but also allow attendees to reflect and discuss the deficits in health outcomes for Black women in medicine. The BWHI Vanguard Award will be a testament to their outstanding service and unwavering commitment.
Sheryl Lee Ralph has recently rebranded The DIVA Foundation to further her efforts in promoting the health of Black women and girls. We are looking forward to the "Homecoming" event, where we can celebrate and appreciate the work of both Roberts and Lee Ralph.
